The Internet Just Changed (And You Didn’t Notice)

Source: European Commission (video statements)

#DSA #DigitalServicesAct #EU #BigTech
The internet just changed and most people have no idea.
The EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) is now in force, forcing platforms like TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, and AliExpress to play by new rules or face fines of up to 6% of their global revenue.
Here’s what this means for you:
You can turn off personalised recommendations and just see posts in chronological order
Ads must be clearly labelled: no more hidden targeting using sensitive data.
No more fake sellers hiding behind anonymity: marketplaces must verify who’s selling to you.
Dark patterns and addictive designs are banned: no more tricks designed to make you click "Yes" by mistake.
This is not a proposal it’s already happening.
Subscribe for more updates on how the EU is shaping your digital world.

Ghana just declared its first marine protected area

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

Almost 200 countries across the world have pledged to protect 30% of their ocean by 2030. But right now, there’s a lot of work to do, with just 10% of the global ocean protected.

#Ghana just took a big step forward with the establishment of the Greater Cape Three Points marine protected area.

The ocean reserve will protect coastal ecosystems rich in biodiversity, and in turn support fish stocks so that communities of fishers can sustain their livelihoods.

Friends of Ocean Action is a group of leaders from business, science and civil society who use their knowledge to help conserve the #ocean and sustainably manage marine resources. Tap the link in our bio to learn more.

The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation. It provides a global, impartial and not-for-profit platform for meaningful connection between stakeholders to establish trust, and build initiatives for cooperation and progress.
