EU: Facebook and Instagram's Infinite Scroll May Break Digital Rules

Meta faces scrutiny from the European Commission over its Facebook and Instagram features, particularly the infinite scroll, which may breach the EU's Digital Services Act. The Commission's preliminary findings suggest that Meta's design choices may promote addictive behaviors without sufficient consideration for user wellbeing. This investigation highlights broader concerns about the impact of social media algorithms on mental health and could lead to stricter regulations on how tech platforms operate in Europe. The outcome could set a precedent for digital rule enforcement worldwide.
