โThe EU Wants To Change How Instagram Works The European Commission has accused Meta of designing Instagram and Facebook to be addictive. According to the EU, features like infinite scroll, autoplay, and highly personalized recommendations encourage people to keep scrolling without thinking and make it harder to stop. If the preliminary findings are upheld, Meta could be required to make major changes. Potential measures include: โก๏ธ Turning off autoplay by default โก๏ธ Disabling infinite scroll by default โก๏ธ Making screen-time reminders harder to ignore โก๏ธ Adjusting recommendation algorithms to prioritize healthier usage over engagement Meta disagrees with the findings and says it has already introduced protections, including Teen Accounts and parental controls. The EU argues those tools aren't enough because they're too easy to bypass or dismiss. This case could become one of the biggest decisions in social media history. If the EU forces these changes, they may not stay limited to Europe. Major platform updates often roll out globally, meaning the way billions of people use Instagram could eventually change. ๐ฑ Follow @insta
