I can see where you're coming from, in light of EU policy proposals like Chat Control. But that doesn't mean everything that comes out of them is problematic.

We need accountability not bullshit laws.

Well this is accountability. By making this a law, companies can actually be fined about it.

Infinite scrolling is a dark pattern. It's not used to help you, it's used to get you addicted.

The CONTENT is the problem.

Both are. The content and the manipulative addictive design decisions.

You're comparing a dark pattern to a basic interface element. It's not like they're talking about scrolling itself,

And infinite scrolling absolutely is a problem on its own, regardless of content.
