Overview

• Meta has two weeks to provide Dutch users a direct option for non‑profiled timelines, such as chronological feeds.
• The court said automatic reversion to personalized recommendations is a prohibited dark pattern that limits freedom of information.
• Non‑profiled feed choices must be retained when users close the app or navigate within the platforms.
• Noncompliance carries a fine of €100,000 per day up to €5 million under the order.
• Meta will appeal and argues enforcement should rest with the European Commission, while rights group Bits of Freedom welcomed the ruling before the October 29 Dutch election.
