The European Union has found that Meta failed to prevent children under 13 from accessing Facebook and Instagram, violating the EU's Digital Services Act. Meta allows users to enter false birth dates and lacks effective controls to verify age, while also not adequately removing underage users. The EU's preliminary findings could lead to fines up to 6% of Meta's annual global revenue if confirmed. Meta can respond to the probe and take corrective measures, but the EU warns it may impose ongoing penalties to enforce compliance.
