Anyone have the text that was agreed upon?

Edit: I know the text is not final as it needs more work, but I was hoping for a leaked draft text of amendments that clinched 'the agreement'.

Yeah without the actual agreement (which is still subject to voting, etc) this is an empty discussion

This is literally based on one short tweet

Edit: this seems to be a (slightly) more substantial press release https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20231206IP...

"prohibits ... social scoring based on social behaviour or personal characteristics;"

Does this outlaw Tinder?

> AI systems that manipulate human behaviour to circumvent their free will;

> AI used to exploit the vulnerabilities of people (due to their age, disability, social or economic situation).

So basically all social media in their current forms?

All that don't just have time ordered feeds, or feeds which are highly configurable by the user anyway. I guess mastodon doesn't fall under this category..

I haven't found a final version online.

I wrote an article / review of the drafts that were available a few months ago. You have the links to the sources.

I don't think it's ready yet, from what I read in statements they found a compromise but it still needs to go through some processes to turn the agreed points into legalese (and then the translations)

I don't think it'll be voted on this month

This month is Christmas. It won't.
