On Thursday, 28 May 2026, at 14:30-15:30 CEST (12:30-13:30 UTC), EU DisinfoLab hosts a webinar ‘David vs Goliath in the DSA era: Lessons from Bits of Freedom’s victory‘. Article 38 of the EU Digital Services Act could be described as a masterpiece of legal drafting – 57 words to say very large online platforms must provide a version of their service not based on profiling. Meta provided a sludgy, unusable option. In the absence of action from the European Commission, Dutch NGO Bits of Freedom took on the mantle of David, and took the Meta Goliath to court. And won. And then, in appeal, won again. What lessons were learnt? Can this success be replicated elsewhere? Are there pitfalls that need to be avoided?

SPEAKER
Rejo Zenger – Policy Advisor, Bits of Freedom

MODERATOR
Joe McNamee – Senior Policy Expert, EU DisinfoLab
