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've got a bad feeling about this.

Yup. I was up for it until that point. That bullet is a terrible idea.

Eh, there's more nuance to it than implied in the TLDR
