Today we open formal proceedings against Meta...to mitigate the risks of negative effects to the physical and mental health of young Europeans on its platforms Facebook and Instagram.
The commission's investigation will explore potential addictive effects of the platforms, so-called rabbit hole effects, where an algorithm feeds young people negative content, such as on body image.
It will also look at the effectiveness of Meta' age verification tools and privacy for minors.
Last month the EU opened formal proceedings against Meta under the DSA over its handling of political content amid concerns it was not doing enough to counter Russian disinformation before the EU elections in June.
