The European Union has accused Meta of failing to protect users from addictive design features on Instagram and Facebook, potentially violating the Digital Services Act (DSA). Preliminary findings by the European Commission suggest that Meta did not adequately assess and mitigate risks associated with these designs, which could impact users' physical and mental health.
The EU is intensifying its investigation, and if the allegations are confirmed, Meta could face fines of up to 6% of its global revenue. The DSA mandates that major online platforms identify and reduce systemic risks, a requirement that Meta is alleged to have breached. The outcome of this investigation could lead to significant financial penalties and regulatory actions against Meta.
