Submission + - YouTube accused of trapping its users: a flagrant violation of the DSA (edri.org)
cdevos writes: EDRi has filed a complaint with the Belgian Digital Services Coordinator, the Institute for Postal Services and Telecommunications (BIPT) against YouTube under the Digital Service Act (DSA), challenging the legality of how the platform uses deceptive interface design to steer users towards its profiling-based recommender system. In the complaint, EDRi argues that YouTube also fails provide a genuinely accessible and meaningful alternative that is not based on profiling, as required by the DSA.
