European Commission preliminary ruling finds addictive design in Meta's apps
The European Commission has preliminarily ruled that Meta's Facebook and Instagram violate the Digital Services Act due to addictive design features such as infinite scrolling, autoplay, push notifications, and highly personalized recommendation systems. Meta is accused of failing to adequately assess the potential risks of such designs to users' physical and mental health, including minors and vulnerable adults, and its existing mitigation measures (such as session time limits and parental control tools) are considered insufficient. If the final ruling is upheld, Meta may face fines of up to 6% of its global annual turnover and will need to make substantial design changes to the aforementioned features.
