In 2025, Dutch digital rights group Bits of Freedom won a court case arguing Meta (the company behind Facebook and Instagram) was not compliant with the Digital Services Act.

The court ordered #Meta to add an easily accessible option for Facebook and Instagram users to get rid of algorithmic recommendations. Non-compliance would lead to substantial fines.

As a result, Dutch users have more options to shape the way they experience Instagram compared to users elsewhere.

@EUCommission VP Henna #Virkkunen promises series of #DSA decisions "in near future."

“We have now many investigations in the pipeline and in the coming weeks and months, there will be coming several decisions on this field,” Executive Vice President for Tech Sovereignty Henna Virkkunen told reporters at the #DigitalSummit organized by the Polish presidency of the Council of the EU in #Gdańsk.

#DigitalServicesAct #bigtech #digitalrights

The @EUCommission's Executive Vice President for tech #sovereignty Henna #Virkkunen canceled her appearance at the #EU Parliament’s working group on the #DigitalServicesAct scheduled for today, which she has repeatedly done.

Also: the following working group discussion features a national enforcement authority (#ACM), a professor, and two corporate lobbyists. Zero #CivilSociety. 😠

How is it possible that an interview of Digital Commissioner #Virkkunen by 3 seasoned reporters on #DSA enforcement turns out so incredibly tame and shallow?

Such a missed opportunity to press her on:

* what kind of info are your teams still requesting from #X after 1 year of investigation?
* what if #platforms refuse compliance & drag on court cases for years?
* shouldn't we consider holding individual platform owners liable?
