Regulators argue these features may violate consumer‑protection rules. Meta is
required to disable or modify the features to comply. Non‑compliance could
trigger substantial monetary penalties. The EU's stance reflects broader
scrutiny of digital platform practices. Meta has previously faced enforcement
actions related to user experience. The company is expected to respond with
technical adjustments or appeals.
