Is there a low-pass filter for news? With a cut-off frequency of, say, 1/week?

I’m not looking for a news site that publishes weekly digests, but rather reviews on every day the news from a week ago and publishes only what is still relevant, and things that are irreversible like meteor impacts.

I would pay for this.

Very excited to have filed a formal complaint against #Facebook & #Instagram today under the #DigitalServicesAct.

Together with @bitsoffreedom, @Freiheitsrechte & Convocation Design+Research, @edri represents an Irish user and found that #Meta uses #DeceptiveDesign patterns to discourage people from choosing the #newsfeed that's not based on #profiling.

That newsfeeds option is a key requirement under the DSA and deceptive design is prohibited. So there you go.
