EU urges Meta to protect teen users
The article focused on the European Commission's demand that Meta (owner of Facebook and Instagram) enhance protections for adolescents from addictive features. Following an agreement with the United States aimed at limiting the platforms' impact on minors—through fines and adjustments to features—the Commission expects Meta to commit within the European Union to measures such as reducing screen time and implementing parental control procedures. This comes in light of criticism regarding the use of addictive features, especially targeting minors and vulnerable adults. In response, Meta has expressed its commitment to work with the Commission to improve the usage environment, while the Commission continues its investigations into the company for not sufficiently assessing the risks of addiction associated with the platforms.
