This BBC article makes my head hurt:

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czd3mey1ej2o

- The main news is about Meta's consent or pay model makes users "choose between paying for a monthly subscription or letting Meta *combine data it has collected on Facebook and Instagram*", and how EU ruled this non-compliant with #DMA.
- It then links to another article about a model where where you can pay for *ad-free* Facebook. Ad-free is not the same as combining data from different platforms!
- There is no link to the EU source, but we get a full section about Meta's plans with AI, that has *nothing* to do with the original topic.
- In the middle of this mess we get a totally out of context paragraph explaining what Meta is?!

Was this all written by an LLM?

Does anyone happen to know what this regulation is actually about?
