Meta ordered by the EU to change Instagram and Facebook design
EU authorities said Meta’s use of “addictive design” broke a digital safety law, prompting the order to alter how the apps are built.
Meta has been ordered by European Union authorities to change the design approach used in Instagram and Facebook, following an enforcement action tied to digital safety rules, according to the New York Times Business.
The EU said the company’s “addictive design” practices violated a digital safety law, indicating the regulator found the design choices to be inconsistent with the law’s requirements.
The order requires Meta to adjust aspects of the apps’ design, aimed at addressing the specific compliance concerns raised by the EU.
