Dutch court orders Meta to change Facebook and Instagram timeline settings

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) -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 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. Meta did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
