Dutch court orders Meta to simplify user timelines

Amsterdam — A Dutch court on Thursday ordered Meta Platforms to offer users of its Facebook and Instagram platforms simpler options for a timeline that is not based on profiling.

The court said parts of the design of both platforms were not in line with the EU’s Digital Services Act. It gave Meta two weeks to offer users a “direct and simple” way to opt out of a timeline with recommended content. Meta did not immediately reply to a request for comment. Reuters
