EU demands Facebook and Instagram dismantle design features it calls addictive

The European Union has taken a firm stance against Meta, accusing the company of violating social media laws by creating addictive features on Facebook and Instagram. The EU is pushing for Meta to remove these design elements that encourage excessive use, citing concerns over the impact on mental health and user well-being. This move highlights growing regulatory scrutiny over how tech companies design platforms that can lead to harmful behaviors.
