A court in the Netherlands has ordered Meta to change Facebook and Instagram’s timelines, after finding that the element ran afoul of the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA). As reported by Reuters, the Dutch court said that the company needs to provide users with simpler options — namely ones that don’t rely on an algorithm. “People in the Netherlands are not sufficiently able to make free and autonomous choices about the use of profiled recommendation systems,” the court said in its decision.

I like to think of September as a soft start to fall. When the first of the month hits, our cravings orient toward all things cozy: blankets, socks, warm drinks, and activities to help us make the most of the transition indoors. But October? She’s fall in full bloom. By the time the month rolls around, the air is crisp, the leaves have turned, and the rhythm of daily life feels both steadier and cozier.
