"A Dutch court has ruled that Meta must redesign Facebook and Instagram to give users a straightforward way to opt out of timelines which rely on profiling, finding that the current system breaches the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA). The court criticised Meta's practice of defaulting users back to a personalised timeline whenever the app or website is reopened, labeling it a "dark pattern" that undermines the right to freedom of information."
"Meta has been given a two-week deadline to comply with the order, which aims to reinforce digital autonomy and transparency. Meta responded by announcing plans to appeal, arguing that it had already implemented significant changes to meet DSA requirements and had informed Dutch users about personalisation-free options. Spotify has struck a deal with Amazon Ads to integrate its audio and video inventory into Amazon's demand-side platform (DSP)."
"The move gives advertisers access to Spotify's 696 million monthly users, combined with Amazon's consumer data, for sharper audience targeting and full-funnel measurement. The partnership mirrors similar tie-ups by Netflix, Disney, Roku, and SiriusXM, cementing Amazon DSP as a central hub for premium streaming ad inventory. NBCUniversal and YouTube have finalised a multi-year carriage agreement, ensuring uninterrupted access to NBCUniversal's full portfolio of broadcast and cable channels on YouTube TV."
