European Union threats Facebook and Instagram with fines over addictive features enforcement
The European Commission has accused Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, of violating EU technology rules. The allegations target features such as autoplay content and infinite scrolling, which are designed to keep users engaged for as long as possible. The Commission pointed out that these features contribute to excessive use and may harm mental health, especially among children, with the threat of fines up to 6% of the company's revenue if violations are found. Meta is cooperating with regulatory authorities, while investigations continue into its compliance with the revised regulations.
