Headline: UNCAPTIONED: EU Charges Meta Over Child Safety Failures On Facebook And Instagram
Caption: EU Charges Meta Over Child Safety Failures On Facebook And Instagram. The European Commission charged Meta Platforms over failures to protect children on its services. Facebook and Instagram were found to breach EU digital rules after a two-year investigation. Regulators said Meta did not adequately prevent children under 13 from accessing its services. The probe found an estimated 10–12% of under-13s in Europe still use the platforms. Officials warned Meta’s systems to detect and remove underage users were insufficient. EU tech chief Henna Virkkunen said platforms must turn policies into real protections for users. The EU ordered Meta to strengthen safeguards and improve how it assesses risks to minors. The case falls under the Digital Services Act, with potential fines of up to 6% of global turnover. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
