The judges have established that the current design of Meta's platforms violates the European Regulation on Digital Services, requiring the company to implement a direct method for opting out of personalized recommendations within two weeks. The court emphasized that users must have the option to keep preferences for a chronological feed, considering that Meta's current practice is a manipulative design model. Meta has announced that it will appeal, arguing that the issue should be managed by the European Commission.
