50 MEPs Urge EU to Threaten Meta Shutdown Over Youth Addiction

Fifty MEPs from multiple parties sent a letter to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Wednesday, obtained by La Tribune, urging the EU to be prepared to shut down Instagram and Facebook if Meta fails to address youth addiction. The letter signals growing political pressure on the Commission to act more decisively against the American tech giant, though it remains a political demand rather than a formal regulatory action. The development matters as it could foreshadow stricter EU enforcement against Meta, potentially impacting its European operations and broader tech regulation.
