    Alright, trying an ELI5 here.


    Big internet platforms like YouTube, Instagram etc. will get new rules in the EU

    • Less relevant/targeted ads for minors
    • Ads are not allowed to target you based on your gender, ethnicity etc.
    • More transparency and more control over which content will get shown to you
    • Big internet companies can get sued for the content users upload
    • They will implement reporting and delting tools to not get sued
    • Maybe we’ll see some upload filters
    • Instagram will give you a chronological feed
    • TikTok will give you some trending stuff within your region
    • EU only

      Here’s the key paragraphs:

      online platforms must implement ways to prevent and remove posts containing illegal goods, services, or content while simultaneously giving users the means to report this type of content.

      the DSA bans targeted advertising based on a person’s sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, or political beliefs and puts restrictions on targeting ads to children. It also requires online platforms to provide more transparency on how their algorithms work.

      The DSA carves out additional rules for what it considers “very large online platforms,” (over 45 million European users/month) forcing them to give users the right to opt out of recommendation systems and profiling, share key data with researchers and authorities, cooperate with crisis response requirements, and perform external and independent auditing.
