The European Union has issued new guidelines aimed at enhancing election security, particularly for social media platforms falling under the scope of the Digital Services Act (DSA). The guidelines address the use of cookies and personal data for targeted advertisement and content display. Users are given the option to accept, reject, or customize their privacy settings, with the aim of promoting transparency and control over personal data usage. These guidelines are expected to impact data privacy policies and user experience across various social media and online platforms, aligning with the EU's ongoing efforts to regulate digital services.
