Amazon, TikTok & Temu continue to rely on manipulative designs, even though the Digital Services Act (DSA) prohibits this, according to consumer group VZBV. The EU must ensure #DSA
enforcement, it should close regulatory gaps in the planned Digital Fairness Act (#DFA).

Verbraucherzentrale BundesverbandVon Amazon über Tiktok bis Temu: Manipulative Designs bleiben ein Problemvzbv-Analyse zeigt: Trotz Verbots nutzen untersuchte Apps manipulative Designs

Tech-Konzerne wie Amazon, TikTok oder Temu setzen weiterhin auf manipulatives Design, obwohl der Digital Services Act (DSA) dies eigentlich umfassend verbietet. Zu diesem Ergebnis kommt der @Bundesverband in einer neuen Untersuchung.

Die EU-Kommission muss alles daran setzen, die Regelungen des #DSA konsequent durchzusetzen. Zudem sollte der geplante Digital Fairness Act (#DFA) genutzt werden, um Regelungslücken zu schließen.

#DFA : raisonnement capillo-tracté (je me demande comment cela va être traduit 😅), mais tout de même, la question peut se poser :
La publicité native va-t-elle devenir nativement illicite ?
Explications

"Financing digital services almost exclusively through personalised #advertising poses considerable risks to #democracy, social cohesion, informational self-determination, #climate and national #security. [...] the new @EUCommission should take #digitalfairness seriously & push for a ban on personalised ads."

Great new report by @germanwatch @fiff_de @wikimediaDE @Konzeptwerk and @CCC

Continued thread

After a question from the conservative EPP group, McGrath confirms he'll use the #DigitalFairnessAct (DFA) to tackle barriers to protecting people as consumers, especially safeguarding minors from unfair marketing techniques like in-app sales & gambling-like features in video games.
We call on the Commissioner-designate to use the #DFA to also address the massive gap in regulating #SurveillanceAds and pervasive online #tracking that continues to undermine everybody's #privacy online!

The DFA, in a statement to media, said it acted after it received from the Justice Department a certification by the National Bureau of Investigation (#NBI) saying Guo’s biometrics matched that of #GuoHuaPing, a Chinese national. #Philippines #POGO

“Sa ngayon, wala pa kaming natatanggap na extradition request.

"Cancelling her passport will limit her travels. Mas madali siya matutuntun kapag hindi siya gala nang gala (It would be easier to track her down if she cannot move around). And besides, she does not have the right to use a #PhilippinePassport in the first place,” #Hontiveros said.

After years I looked again at a #Java library I once wrote to create (Non)deterministic Finite Automata (#nfa, #dfa). I removed a lot of stuff to trim it to the real core. Now I will slowly add features again.

In contrast to builtin regular expression in Java, this one does DFAs and also allows to visualize them (see FaToDot). Javadoc and tutorial are not up, but source code is on #codeberg .

The name prefix, monq, was not invented by a native french speaker. 😀
