Dutch court gives Meta more time to change timeline settings

A Dutch court on Tuesday gave Meta Platforms until the end of the year to provide Facebook and Instagram users with a simpler way to opt out of algorithmically curated timelines – the kind that show recommended content based on user profiling.

The District Court of Amsterdam earlier this month had given Meta two weeks to make the changes, saying elements of the design of both platforms were not in line with the European Union’s Digital Services Act.
