"Coimisiún na Meán recognises the concerns that many people have about recommender systems, and the potential harm that these algorithms can potentially cause by repeatedly pushing harmful content into the feeds of users, especially children and young people."
"Our message is clear: it is unacceptable for platforms to prevent people from using their rights under the law, or to try to manipulate people away from making empowered choices about whether or not recommender system feeds control what they see online."
"If Meta is found to be on the wrong side of DSA, it could incur a substantial fine. The law allows for penalties up to 6 percent of a company's global revenue."
"We disagree with any suggestion that we have breached the DSA. We have introduced substantial changes to our processes and systems to meet our regulatory obligations."
Irish regulators have initiated two investigations into Meta regarding compliance with the Digital Services Act, which mandates alternatives to targeted algorithmic feeds. Complaints suggest Meta employs 'dark patterns' to hinder access to these alternatives on Facebook and Instagram. Although Meta introduced chronological options for Stories and Reels, regulators claim these options may not be easily accessible. If found in violation, Meta could face fines up to 6% of its global revenue. Meta disputes any breach of the law, asserting compliance efforts.
