The company said that it will still have opt-out controls in “select countries” without specifying which ones. It mentioned in a blog post that users won’t see more ads but they will see better-targeted ads following this change.
The “select countries” getting opt-out probably include EU members.

I believe it is and they have until the end of the year to comply. I am not entirely sure though

You’re thinking of Digital Markets Act which covers extra responsibilities of tech giants. Being able to opt out of personalized ads is requirement of GDPR which has been in effect for a couple of years now and applies to every company.

so they can still fk with shit this year for the ipo; then worry about that next year after those who want 'out', cash out before then.

Is this the part where they have to allow users to opt out of recommended content too? Somehow it feels like the same thing really.
