9 Jun 2026 MetaMeta: interim measures to keep WhatsApp open to rival AI assistants free of charge Order
The European Commission ordered Meta to restore access for rival general-purpose AI assistants to the WhatsApp for Business interface on the terms in place before 15 October 2025, i.e. free of charge, and to maintain it until the final decision. The Commission found a prima facie abuse of a dominant position in consumer communication apps, because Meta had first excluded third-party assistants and later charged a fee with practically the same effect; the measures had to be implemented within five working days.
A company that has opened its dominant platform to third parties must not squeeze out competitors in the growing AI market through exclusion or prohibitive fees.

23 Apr 2025 MetaDMA: 200 million EUR against Meta over ‘consent or pay’ model €200m
Between March and November 2024, Meta offered users of Facebook and Instagram only the choice between consenting to the combination of their data for personalised advertising and a paid subscription. The European Commission saw this as a breach of the obligation under the Digital Markets Act (DMA) to offer an equivalent, less data-intensive alternative, and imposed 200 million EUR.
A binary ‘consent or pay’ is not sufficient where the law requires an equivalent option involving less data processing.

14 Nov 2024 MetaMeta: €797.72m fine for tying Facebook Marketplace to Facebook €797.7m
The European Commission found that Meta abused its dominant position in personal social networks and in display advertising on social media: its classified ads service Facebook Marketplace was automatically linked to Facebook, and other classified ads providers advertising on Facebook and Instagram were subjected to unfair terms allowing Meta to use their ad-related data for Marketplace. In addition to the fine of €797.72m, Meta must end the conduct and must not repeat it.
Dominant platforms must not forcibly tie add-on services to their core product or exploit data from advertisers who are also competitors for their own offerings.
