AMSTERDAM (Reuters) -A Dutch court on Thursday ordered Meta Platforms to provide Facebook and Instagram users with simpler options for a timeline that does not rely on profiling.
The court said elements of the design of both platforms were not in line with the European Union'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.
It also ruled that users' choices for a chronological or other non-profiled timeline must remain in effect.
Bits of Freedom, the Dutch digital rights group that brought the case, said the ruling made clear that Meta must respect user preferences.
