EU Orders Meta to Eliminate Addictive Features on Facebook and Instagram

10 Temmuz 2026France 24

The European Union has mandated that Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, must eliminate design features that contribute to user addiction, particularly the infinite scrolling feature. This directive comes with the warning of significant fines if Meta fails to comply.
The EU aims to address concerns over mental health and user well-being associated with social media usage.
The move by the EU reflects growing global concerns regarding the psychological effects of social media, particularly among younger users. As more governments scrutinize the practices of tech companies, this could lead to broader regulatory changes across the industry.
This directive from the EU marks a significant step in regulating tech giants and their impact on user behavior. By targeting addictive features, the EU is not only prioritizing mental health but also setting a precedent for how social media platforms are designed.
