The European Commission has urged Meta Platforms to implement protective measures for young Facebook and Instagram users in Europe following an out-of-court settlement in the USA. The company agreed in the United States to pay up to 18 billion dollars and make changes designed to limit risks associated with social media use by children and teenagers. vedanadosah.cvtisr.sk ↗
The new rules in the USA are to include default security settings, time limits, night-time access blocking, and disabled notifications. According to available information, Meta committed to adding these restrictions to minor users' accounts within six months. Several governments and regulatory bodies are therefore considering whether the American settlement could serve as a model for other countries. novinky.cz ↗
In Germany, following the decision, a demand emerged to implement similar measures for local users as well. The European Commission is simultaneously continuing dialogue with Meta regarding addictive design in its services. The investigation began in May 2024 and focuses on endless content scrolling, automatic video playback, notifications, and personalized recommendations. hnonline.sk ↗
Separately, Poland has asked the European Commission to impose a fine of approximately 233 million euros on Meta for insufficient action against fraudulent advertisements and harmful content. Further developments will depend on whether European authorities consider Meta's measures sufficient for protecting minor users and controlling harmful content. hnonline.sk ↗
