Summary
The EU is cracking down on Meta, accusing Facebook and Instagram of being engineered to addict users—especially teens—with features like endless scrolling and autoplay. They’re demanding Meta redesign these habits, disable them by default, and fix clunky parental controls. Meta counters with its Teen Accounts, offering strict limits and nighttime blocks, claiming they’re already safeguarding youth. But the EU won’t back down, insisting platforms must prioritize mental health over engagement—and this is just the latest in a string of investigations targeting Meta’s child safety failures.
