The wording in the article body seems reasonable

Users can choose to opt in to having their default feed include personalised content recommended by the algorithm. Alternatively, users can opt out of personally recommended content in their default feed and see the friends and creators they choose to follow.

But then the actual quotes on the bottom don't use this wording. I'm not sure what to expect.
