EU fines Meta for violating child safety laws on Facebook, Instagram.

The European Union has accused Meta of violating the Digital Services Act by failing to prevent children under 13 from using Instagram and Facebook. Regulators found Meta's age verification measures ineffective, allowing minors to bypass restrictions, and warned the company it could face fines of up to 6% of its global revenue. Meta disputed the findings, stating it has systems in place to detect underage accounts.
