The European Union on Wednesday alleged Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta violated the bloc’s law by not doing enough to prevent children from accessing Facebook and Instagram. 

The European Commission, the EU’s executive branch, said its two-year preliminary investigation concluded Meta breached the Digital Services Act by failing to prevent children under 13 from accessing the social media platforms. The commission could fine Meta up to 6% of its total global annual turnover if the findings are confirmed by its final investigation.
