EU orders Facebook and Instagram to remove addictive features to improve user safety
The European Commission has announced that it has requested Meta to modify certain features on the Facebook and Instagram platforms that promote compulsive usage, such as unlimited scrolls, personalized recommendations, and autoplay videos, in an effort to reduce their negative effects on health and addictive engagement, especially among minors and vulnerable adult groups. It also outlined a set of corrective measures, warning of a fine of up to 6 percent of global revenue in case of non-compliance. This initiative is part of an investigation launched by the Commission in May 2024 concerning the protection of children from internet-related risks.
