The court in the Netherlands has ruled that META has to change the work of Facebook and Instagram tapes as their current form violates the position “Digital Services Act” (Digital Services Act, DSA). According to Reuters, the court noted that the company should give users simpler options – first of all, non -algorithms.

“People in the Netherlands do not have enough opportunity to make a free and self -choice about the use of systems of recommendations built on profiles,” the decision reads

The court ruled that the tape should take into account the user’s choice – for example, chronological order or other non -algorithmic options – instead of automatically returning the algorithmic version after each re -start of the application.

The META claim was filed by the Dutch digital rights of Bits of Freedom.

“It is unacceptable that several American technical engineers can determine as we see the world,” said the spokeswoman for Maartier Knaap.

Meta in response stated that she would challenge the decision and that the issues related to DSA should be resolved by the European Commission and other EU regulators, not the courts of individual countries.

“Such lawsuits pose a threat to a single digital market and a coordinated regulatory regime that provides it,” Meta representative said

Companies can threaten a fine of $ 117 450 for each day of non -compliance with a court decision, but not more than $ 5.8 million.

DSA has become a serious problem for major techno companies since the adoption in 2022. The European Commission has already imposed hundreds of millions of dollars on Apple, Meta and Google for violation of the law. Regulation also forced platforms to make a number of changes to increase the level of confidentiality, data safety and protection of children.
