According to Dr Lucas Henrique Muniz da Concei\u00e7\u00e3o, the issue goes beyond individual features such as infinite scrolling. It concerns how the Digital Services Act (DSA) regulates systemic risks arising from platform design. Under the DSA, very large platforms must assess whether recommender systems and engagement-driven features create risks for fundamental rights, consumer protection and the protection of minors. The debate therefore centres on how EU law limits the exercise of platform power."}
