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

I suspect they just can’t be willfully negligent. Right now Facebook could actively promote a genocide and not see any consequences.
