EU accuses Facebook parent Meta of breaching antitrust rules
Key FactsEU charges Facebook parent Meta of antitrust violations
Apr 17, 2023 · Reading time: ~20 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance
  • The EU's executive commission takes issue with the internet corporation connecting its online classified ad business, Facebook Marketplace, to Facebook in its complaint following an examination began last year.

  • The commission, the EU's top antitrust enforcer, stated that by linking Marketplace to its social network, Facebook users automatically have access to Marketplace "whether they want it or not," raising concerns that competitors will be shut out because the tie gives Marketplace an advantage that competitors cannot match.

  • According to the commission, Meta also unilaterally imposes unfair trading terms on online classified ad competitors that market their services on Facebook or Instagram.
