Meta must do more to keep under-13s off Instagram and Facebook, EU says

The European Commission has said Meta is not doing enough to keep children under 13 off its platforms and must change the design of Instagram and Facebook. Meta, Facebook and Instagram were charged under the European Union's Digital Services Act, which requires Big ​Tech to do more to tackle illegal and harmful ​content on their platforms. The charges came after a two-year ⁠long investigation by the commission. "Our preliminary findings show that Instagram and ‌Facebook ⁠are doing very little to prevent children below [the age of 13] from accessing their services," EU tech chief Henna Virkkunen said. "Terms and conditions should not be mere ​written statements, but ​rather the ⁠basis for concrete action to protect users – including children." The commission could issue a fine of up to 6% of Meta’s worldwide revenue. Meta said it disagreed with the commission’s findings, and called age-verification an “industry-wide challenge.”
