Some promising stuff here. My highlights:<p>- they seem to recognize the problems caused by recommendation engines optimizing for engagement<p>- they seem to oppose automated content filtering<p>My main worry is that attacking targeted advertising misses the mark: platforms would still be incentivized to optimize for engagement. Forcing platforms to make algorithmic recommendations optional would be as useless as all these cookie warnings.
