Dutch court orders Meta to offer non-profiled timelines; activist suit advances

A Dutch court has ordered Meta to offer Dutch Instagram and Facebook users a timeline not based on profiling, following a case led by Bits of Freedom director Evelyn Austin. The ruling, issued in March, is part of an ongoing legal battle over data protection and algorithmic transparency. This marks a notable regulatory and judicial pressure point for Meta in the EU, potentially setting a precedent for other member states.
