      Infinite scroll was basically digital quicksand nice to see the EU tossing us a rope back to solid ground.

      Again the EU treating us like kids. Now apparently scrolling is an issue…

      Enforcement of vague laws always creates problems. People will clap for this, but the enforcement is totally arbitrary and the regulation far too vague.

      Also, if scrolling has to be banned for being addictive, are we going to enforce prohibition too? Alcohol is addictive as well…

      So now it’s going to be scroll down a certain amount hit an AD then watch AD to proceed. This decision is going to backfire.

      Reading the comments here is honestly hilarious.

      There’s actually a “algorithmic doomscrolling” defense force. fml

      With all the tech needing regulation this is what they’re focusing on?

      People complaining about this? It’s a really good idea. Infinite scrolling is studied and shown to create psychological addiction and make people lose track of time.

      The definition of infinite scrolling is easy. Regulating it is also going to be easy.

      All the other negative comments are just “whataboutism”.

      Sure, is EU gonna tell me when I’m gonna be allowed outside? When I’m gonna eat? Am I allowed smokes and alcohol, or we might ban both?

      I can’t believe people support these ideas, while most of EU ideas are great, governments should gtfo from our private lives.

      I bet if EU had a domestic service that had infinite scrolling of purely EU approved values they would greenlight it.

      They do that care that scrolling is addictive. They care that the ones controlling the addiction are against the EU policies.

      It’s so subtle and simple but yeah infinite scroll is actually a load-bearing social and health problem

      Or rather, I think maybe folks need to think of it as regulating web design that manipulates physical responses to produce more revenue at the expense of consumer well being. Infinite scroll just happens to be one of the bigger issues there, but so is certain algorithmic content, loot boxes, etc…

      What a waste of time and money.

      I’d prefer they focus on providing better education regarding internet, social media, ecc, so that people can make their own decision in an informed way.

      e.g. smoking is indubitably worse than doom scrolling, yet it’s still allowed, but the amount of smokers has been greatly reduced by informing people about the dangers

      It would be great if they could just force companies to offer an on/off switch for addictive features like infinite scroll, or provide even more customisable “screentime” style options. It would be hard for them to argue against that publicly without showing their true colours.
