EU Official Says Meta Could Face Interim Measures Over WhatsApp AI Policy

08:18 AM EST, 12/04/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Meta Platforms (FB2A.F) could face interim measures from the European Commission over its new artificial intelligence policy for its WhatsApp messaging platform, Reuters reported Thursday, citing the bloc's Antitrust Chief Teresa Ribera. Ribera told reporters that the commission has yet to decide whether to impose any restrictions on the tech giant and did not provide any details about the potential timing of the said decision. Meta is facing a formal antitrust investigation on the issue that its policy may prevent third-party AI providers from offering services on WhatsApp.
