- therealmarv 4y agooh, I was not aware the Digital Markets Act will change that too. That is a win.
- dessant 4y agoIt's actually the Digital Services Act, I have corrected my comment.
- grogenaut 4y agothere are many completely valid and completely unactionable reasons for rejecting people. Yes this might make it a bit better but it's very hard to make someone who doesn't care about helping you help you. Even regulation can just make them do the minimum.

- klooney 4y agoI'm sure they'll manage the process so that it so that it's a powerless human reading an AI's decision back to you. There's no way to legislate wanting to do a good job.
- janalsncm 4y agoIf the AI gave actionable advice, fine. If not, it’s a violation of the law.
