Title says "Are now banned" but in the article it says "Can now be banned". That's weird..

A lot of those check boxes seem pretty arbitrary and open to interpretation

What would be your preferred approach ? I’m on the implementation side of this in a reasonably large company and so far I found the act to be reasonable. It must rely on some interpretation as every piece of such regulation. Same as GDPR for example and yet it’s a very important progress for EU citizens guarantee wise.

Ooh. Did the EU just ban “the Algorithm”? Reading the article I’d say yes but I’m sure a lot of well payed lawyers would argue against me

@galoisghost @Zerush an incredibly small number of systems fall into the prohibited cases, and those categories themselves have wide exceptions. so no, i don't think so...
