Don’t pretty much all Social Media have a chronological „Following“ feed already? Methinks they’re just going to argue that switching to that feed is „turning off“ the „algorithm“, no?
Yes, though this law specifically requires that users can "having their default feed ... opt out of algorithmically recommended content and instead see posts only from the friends and creators they choose to follow.".
Basically all platforms inject other posts in your feed somewhere either as "recommendations" or just paid ads, and very few default to your subscriptions when you open an app.
They do? Where? In Netherlands?
Automod removed my other post with proof for some reason but literally every social media platform has it. Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Threads, even TikTok. I checked.
