Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens and soft media users for 1520111 clue delivery! CTOnews.com, August 5 (Xinhua)-- according to TikTok, TikTok users in Europe will be able to turn off personalized recommendation features, including "For You" and "Live feeds" channels. However, as of press time, TikTok did not provide an effective date for the feature, and only knows that the changes need to be completed by August 28 at the latest.

The changes are said to be due to stricter requirements for Internet companies under the European Union's Digital Services Act (DSA): large online platforms should allow users to choose not to receive personalized content when viewing content recommendations. At present, the "personalized content" provided by Internet companies for users is usually based on the tracking and analysis of user activities.

Before that, TikTok will show users content based on personal interests, and after adjustment, it will show users "hot content from where they live and around the world." After selecting a non-personalized recommendation, the videos provided by the "follow" and "Friends" section will be displayed in chronological order. In addition, European users between the ages of 13 and 17 will not be affected by personalized advertising, so there is no need to choose whether to turn on personalized recommendation.
