The European Commission has accused Meta of breaching the Digital Services Act by running addictive design features on Facebook and Instagram, with investigations ongoing since 2024\. A $18bn US settlement with 47 states requires Meta to limit daily time for minors and disable cosmetic filters, raising pressure on Brussels to enforce stricter EU protections. Meta risks fines up to $12bn if non-compliant. **(POLITICO)**
