The European Union is set to charge Meta over its ‘pay or consent’ model in some European countries. The EU executive, the EC, is planning to make a statement soon according to sources.
The European Union (EU) is getting ready to charge Meta under the Digital Markets Act (DMA) for its ‘pay or consent’ model which is offered to customers in the EU, European Economic Area (EEA), and Switzerland. The decision by the EU, which was told to the Financial Times (FT) by three sources with knowledge of the matter, comes a week after the EU targeted Apple too.
The ‘pay or consent’ model in question was launched by Meta towards the end of last year. By paying a monthly subscription, users were given the choice of using Facebook and Instagram without any ads.
