EU urges Meta to tighten age checks on Instagram and Facebook

TL;DR
Brussels says Meta isn’t doing enough to block under-13s on Instagram and Facebook and is pushing for stronger design changes and a new EU-wide age-verification app; under the Digital Services Act, Meta could face fines up to 6% of global revenue if found in breach, and the Commission is seeking remedies alongside ongoing reviews of Meta’s design and risk assessments.
