META: Violating the DMA?

Europe can’t stop penalizing US tech firms.

The European Union or EU has charged Meta with violating its Digital Markets Act (DMA), a new law regulating digital platforms, through its “pay or consent” model. That model, which Meta introduced in November to comply with the DMA, allowed European users of Instagram and Facebook to pay for a subscription instead of seeing ads. The EU now says these options prevent users from consenting to the use of their personal data.

Meta is the second US-based Big Tech company to be charged for violating the DMA, after Apple got nailed last week.
