European Union Demands Meta Changes "Addictive Design" of Facebook and Instagram
The European Union is demanding that Meta modify the design of its Facebook and Instagram platforms to reduce features that encourage overuse, especially among children; otherwise, the company could face fines of up to 6% of its annual revenue. This call comes after the European Commission accused the company of failing to protect users, particularly children and adults most vulnerable to influence, through features like infinite scrolling and autoplay videos. The Commission plans to enforce changes that include disabling certain features and implementing break periods, while Meta rejects these findings and affirms its continued cooperation.
