The European Union is reportedly escalating a probe into Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta over allegations that its social media apps are intentionally designed to get kids hooked. The European Commission, the EU’s competition watchdog, is close to issuing its preliminary findings – including that Facebook and Instagram are built with addictive features, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter. EU officials have yet to determine exactly when they’ll announce the findings, the report said.
