In a Monday press release, the European Commission (the EU's executive branch) announced a formal probe into TikTok's compliance (or lack thereof) with the Digital Services Act.

The press release includes a handy bullet-point list of things the EU is looking into, such as TikTok's potential use of algorithmic systems to encourage addictive behavior, or what it calls a "rabbit hole effect." In other words, they're worried about if TikTok does too much to force you to keep looking at it. Other points of concern include privacy and safety for minors, advertising transparency, and proper age verification for users.

According to TikTok, these moves have not been met with response from the Commission.
