Lawsuit Against Meta for User Control

A lawsuit filed by researcher Ethan Zuckerman against Meta argues that U.S. law mandates social platforms to allow users to utilize unofficial add-ons for more control over their feeds. Zuckerman aims to release a browser extension, Unfollow Everything 2.0, enabling users to easily unfollow content on Facebook, thus modifying their feed experience. The lawsuit invokes Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which shields social networks from content liability, to advocate for user rights in controlling their online interactions. Zuckerman's initiative could prompt greater transparency in how social algorithms impact users' online lives.
