Meta Fails to Keep Children Off Facebook and Instagram Despite Own Rules, EU Says
Share:
The European Union has accused Meta of failing to effectively prevent children from accessing Facebook and Instagram, despite the company's own policies prohibiting underage users. Brussels claims the social media giant is not adequately enforcing its age restrictions on the platforms. The European Commission, which oversees digital regulation across the 27-member bloc, could impose significant financial penalties on Meta for the violations. The case highlights ongoing tensions between EU regulators and major American technology companies over platform safety and compliance with European digital rules.
