Meta: Prien expects consequences from Meta comparison
The multibillion-dollar settlement by the Facebook group in the USA will also influence the debate in Europe, says the Minister for Family Affairs. It has now been officially established that social media can be addictive.
German Family Minister Karin Prien expects concrete consequences in the EU and Germany following a US lawsuit against Meta, the parent company of Facebook. The US case found that children and teenagers are harmed and made addicted by the way social media platforms operate. Meta has agreed to pay nearly $16.7 billion and make significant changes to protect young users and give parents more control.
Prien says the US restrictions will be closely examined for possible adoption in the EU, with a regulatory proposal expected from the EU Commission in September.
