Business model and algorithms
•
Cease the collection of invasive personal data which undermines the right to privacy and
threatens a range of human rights.
•
End the practice of using tracking-based advertising and embrace less harmful alternative
business models, such as contextual advertising.

Ensure content-shaping algorithms are not based on profiling by default and require an opt-in
instead of an opt-out, with the consent for opting in being freely given, specific, informed, and
unambiguous.
•
Radically improve transparency in relation to the use of content-shaping and content
moderation algorithms, ensuring that their mechanics are publicly available in clearly
understandable terms.
Global South
•
Ensure appropriate investment in local-language resourcing throughout the world, with a
particular emphasis on resolving existing inequalities that disproportionately impact Global
South countries.

Regulate technology companies to ensure that content-shaping algorithms used by online
platforms are not based on profiling by default and must require an opt-in instead of an optout, with the consent for opting in being freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous.
