The EU may charge Meta with violating its Digital Markets Act due to its "pay or consent" model.

The European Union is likely to charge Facebook parent Meta with violating its landmark digital rules, with regulators expressing concerns about Meta's "pay or consent" model, in which users either pay for an ad-free version or allow their data to be tracked for advertising purposes. This comes after the EU began investigating Meta and Apple in March to see if they were complying with the Digital Markets Act.
