The joy of selecting cookie preferences on every single website never gets old...

Edit. And we have our first winner

Zalando, a German online fashion retailer, has filed a legal challenge over its inclusion on the DSA’s list of the largest online platforms, arguing that it’s being treated unfairly

Nevertheless, Zalando is launching content flagging systems for its website even though there’s little risk of illegal material showing up among its highly curated collection of clothes, bags and shoes

Twitter about to go offline in EU in 3.. 2..

[–] cyd 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It will be an interesting test case for sure, whether the EU is willing to take down X/Twitter/whatever if they don't comply. Or if they offer up some half-assed compliance, as per Elon Musk's signature passive aggressive style.

If the EU doesn't react forcefully to that, these regulations will be as good as dead, because why should anyone else comply if Elon gets a free pass?
