• Euractiv reports the Council of the EU drafted a compromise text on the proposed Digital Services Act that includes updated provisions on "dark patterns" and children's privacy protections. The new proposal contains a limited definition of dark patterns and who is not allowed to use them while children's protections have been limited to a platform "primarily aimed at minors or is pre-dominantly used by them."
