There has already been some media coverage of #Linkedin's decision to limit ad #targeting based on sensitive personal data and comply with the #DigitalServicesAct #DSA instead.
Most failed to mention that this was based on a joint complaint filed by @edri, @Freiheitsrechte, @bitsoffreedom and @globalwitness, so I took the liberty to write down the inside story for you :)

European Digital Rights (EDRi)Privacy win: LinkedIn limits ad targeting after EDRi complaint - European Digital Rights (EDRi)LinkedIn gave in to pressure from civil society and Digital Services Act (DSA) enforcers based on a complaint by EDRi and three partner organisations. The platform will no longer allow advertisers to target ads based on sensitive personal data from users. That’s a big win for privacy and the DSA, but it also exposes one of the DSA’s more hidden weaknesses.
