EU Launches Investigation into Meta Over Child Safety Concerns on May 16, 2024
May 16, 2024, 11:12 AM
The European Union has launched a formal investigation into Meta Platforms' social media sites, Facebook and Instagram, over potential breaches of EU online content rules related to child safety. The probe, initiated on May 16, 2024, will assess whether these platforms have been reinforcing addictive behaviors and causing mental health issues among minors. EU regulators are particularly concerned about the 'rabbit hole' effect and other addictive design features that may be harmful to children. This investigation could lead to significant fines for Meta under the bloc's strict online content law.
