TL;DR bot seems to on summer vacation now, so I had to ask Bing to summarize the article for me. Here’s what It says:

“According to an article on Tech Xplore, the European Union has introduced a new set of digital regulations called the Digital Services Act. The act aims to protect European users' privacy, transparency, and removal of harmful or illegal content. The act will affect big tech companies such as Google, Facebook, TikTok, and Amazon. The act will allow users to turn off AI-recommended videos and personalized search results. Users can choose to view content only from people they follow. Search results will be based only on the words they type. Users should find it easier to report a post, video or comment that breaks the law or violates a platform's rules so that it can be reviewed and taken down if required. Affected service providers will have until 1 January 2024 to comply with its provisions.”
