EU Directs Meta to Allow Access to WhatsApp for Competing AI Chatbots

9 Haziran 2026France 24
  • The EU has mandated that Meta must allow rival AI chatbots access to its WhatsApp platform within five working days, as part of an ongoing antitrust investigation. Meta plans to appeal this decision, claiming it constitutes 'regulatory overreach'.
  • Additionally, the EU has responded to Apple's criticism regarding the delay of its Siri AI rollout in Europe, attributing the issue to the Digital Marketing Act.
  • The EU has been actively pursuing regulations to ensure fair competition in the digital market, particularly against large tech companies like Meta and Apple. This move is part of a broader strategy to prevent monopolistic practices and encourage the development of diverse AI technologies.
  • This decision by the EU highlights the increasing scrutiny on tech giants and their market practices. By forcing Meta to open WhatsApp to competitors, the EU aims to foster a more competitive landscape in the AI sector.
