Apollo's Gift Of Prophecy Dodgeball meme For now, the practical outcome of this ruling that this is a soft precedent, where the Grand Chamber sent the case back to the national courts, and the first national rulings will draw the lines that everyone else follows. Whether a court sees a decomposed network as a set of components or as one integrated service is going to be decided, in practice, by whoever explains the architecture to the court first, and a court left to improvise will improvise from the platform default, because the platform is the only shape that it knows. The people building open networks have a window to write their own architecture down, clearly, in the places lawyers actually read, before somebody else’s account of it hardens into doctrine. On current evidence, the lawyers are not going to figure out the difference between a PDS and an appview on their own. Meta cannot do so with reference to the so-called. Digital Services Act thus relieves that it has had no knowledge of the fake advertising. In a recent judgment (“Webgroup and Coyote”), the ECJ ruled that a service provider would be liable if it exercised control of the content. The judges stated: “The defendant decides on the order of precedence and the timing of advertisements in the context of an automated auction procedure. (...) And the defendant controls the display of user content in the feeds of the users by algorithms.” Unlike purely chronological user feeds such as Mastodon or BlueSky, Meta exerts control over the displayed advertising content.
