> Requiring every company to price why something us suitable for their market also means the government has absolute control

they dont require every company. Just the largest in this segment.



Is that limitation specifically defined in the law? I.e. does the law granting power to require this spell out how segments are defined and that only the largest by a specified metric can be regulated this way?

Short of that its just a current norm for how the law is enforced. Nothing stops the next regulator from expanding that power.



My understanding of the DSA is that its focused on content moderation and disclosure of how content algorithms work. Whether the content is addictive really isn't directly related, that's a measure of how users respond to the content rather than how its fed to them.

That said, this app, like so many other social media apps, is trash. People should be choosing not to use it regardless of regulations.


I think it comes down to this:
