To align with the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA), TikTok announced that users in the EU will soon have the option to switch off the platform’s recommendation algorithm. Those who opt out of the personalized For You Page and LIVE feed experiences will instead see “videos from both the places where they live and around the world” rather than content "based on their personal interests.” The change is expected to roll out by August 28, 2023.

Our Take: The implications for customers and consumers are clear, but the path forward for marketers and clients needs to be clarified. TikTok has said it will show popular content from the region the viewer is in or in their preferred language, so it's possible that local businesses will benefit from exposure in feeds that focus on regional content.
