EU Says Instagram and Facebook Use Addictive Design and Must Change It

  • The European Commission has set out preliminary findings that Instagram and Facebook breach EU online-safety rules through 'addictive' design features such as infinite scroll and autoplay, and has told Meta to make structural changes or risk heavy fines.
  • Meta rejects the findings, saying it has already acted to protect young users.
