The judges based their decision on a June ruling by the EU’s top court. That earlier ruling said a platform can lose its hosting protection if its algorithm, working in the operator’s interest, decides which content is shown and in what order.

Meta argued it should not be responsible for content it did not know about, which is a defense allowed for hosting services under the EU’s Digital Services Act. The court disagreed, saying Meta controls what users see through its algorithms and advertising practices. Meta decides when and in what order ads appear, unlike a basic chronological feed.
Frankfurt court held that Meta is responsible for content and not just a platform, bc it controls what people see via both algo's and adtech.

Spanish court decision that algorithms used to decide about citizens by government entities, need to be transparant. Presented as landmark ruling with EU consequences, but I'm not sure if this isn't already true for public sector decision making under the AI Act. In NL the national algorithm register and tools like IAMA are aimed at this too, and have been in place for some time, even if not fully implemented yet.

Landlords were making high demands for installations normally reserved for block level installations, while at the same time having no obligation to keep up the tech standard of the existing internal installations. Likely to work as precedent in other tiny scale photovoltaic projects across Germany
