🇬🇧Tomorrow, the EU's #DigitalServicesAct fully comes into force. As rapporteur of the Committee on Civil Liberties (LIBE), I say: the law is disappointingly industry-friendly, protects surveillance capitalism, provides for no alternative to hate and lie-slinging recommendation algorithms, and jeopardizes freedom of expression online. https://www.patrick-breyer.de/beitraege/dsa/
But there are also improvements such as
☑️complaint mechanisms and out-of-court dispute resolution against arbitrary provider decisions
☑️prohibition of surveillance ads using sensitive data such as political opinion, sexual orientation, etc.
