The European Union (EU) has accused Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META) of violating its digital laws due to the ‘addictive’ designs of its Instagram and Facebook platforms.
On Friday, a preliminary report by the EU found that Meta had breached the Digital Services Act. The EU’s executive branch, the European Commission, stated that Meta did not adequately evaluate the risks that certain design features could pose to users’ physical health, particularly minors and vulnerable adults.
