> All users would gain the right to switch off autoplay, notifications unrelated to their own activity, streak-style rewards and chatbot features that simulate relationships to keep people engaged. Looks like EU has been waking up and finally choosing respect for people's freedom of choice. No one should be forced to use these features, but they also shouldn't be banned, even if the ban only applies to minor children.
