Meta’s new unemployment in the European Union: The Organization Society for Freedom Rights (GFF), “Bits of Freedom”, “European Digital Rights” (EDRI) and “Convocation Design + Research” submitted a complaint against the American group on Tuesday. He accuses the operator of Facebook and Instagram that he has violated security rules from the Digital Services Act (DSA).
No pure news feed
Meta offers no alternative and permanently adjustable news feed options on these platforms that were not based on tracking and manufacturing user profiles, criticizing civil rights activists. Even if users have changed their settings, the next time you open apps and online portals, Meta resets them, It says in the complaint,
Organizations complained to Koimisuen Na Mean (CNAM) on behalf of a Facebook and Instagram user in Ireland. According to the Irish Media Commission DSA, it also serves as a digital service coordinator. He is primarily responsible for the meta as the company has its own European headquarters in Dublin.
The obligations specified in the European Union’s Platform Act should be able to protect themselves from the Lurid recommendation algorithm. Such systems determined on a large scale that “how much time we spend on social media,” GFF describes Simone RUF from GFF. “You have a significant impact on our life”. Meta makes it extremely difficult to choose an alternative feed and control your own online experience.
Civil rights activists emphasize that algorithms are one of the most important sources of income. Timelines based on profiling means that the user remained long on platforms, which increased advertising revenue from meta. Therefore, the company has a clear financial incentive to keep users on this feed.
In meta, the complaint should not be fully followed. Group outgoing “Foreign Minister”, Nick Cleag announced in mid -2023 Targeted changes in response to DSAIt includes a feed function, which according to the corporate circle, should be “without profiling”.
Meta refers to optional
“We are now giving our European community an opportunity to display and find materials on reel, stories, discoveries and Facebook and other parts of Instagram”, which will come out without AI rankings and other automatic recommendations, the clause was written at that time. Users can only perform postings displayed by people that they follow, in chronic order, from the latest to the oldest “.
Facebook has also been offering a separate friend feed in the USA since march without additional content suggestions and AI spam. The global beginning of the “Friend Tab”, which suggests a return to the beginning of the social network, is called on the bottom of the bang.
