EU Antitrust Probe Targets Meta’s WhatsApp AI Integration
The European Commission is poised to launch an antitrust investigation into Meta Platforms, focusing on the company's integration of artificial intelligence features within WhatsApp. The probe, expected to be announced imminently, will scrutinize the rollout of Meta's AI system earlier this year.
This marks the latest regulatory challenge for Meta in Europe, where the tech giant faces mounting scrutiny over its business practices. The investigation adds to a growing list of compliance issues across Meta's suite of applications in the region.
Brussels officials confirmed the impending probe, though the exact timing remains fluid. The MOVE reflects Europe's increasingly assertive stance toward Big Tech's expansion of AI capabilities into core communication platforms.
