EU Antitrust Case Against Meta: Proposal to Mandate WhatsApp Interoperability, Strict Ban on Excluding Third-Party AI Competitors

The European Union has accused Meta of leveraging its dominant market position to stifle AI competition by restricting rivals' access to the WhatsApp API. Regulatory authorities plan to impose mandatory interim measures, requiring Meta to keep the platform open during the investigation to prevent permanent damage to the market structure. Meta countered that the intervention lacks justification. This move demonstrates the EU's firm stance on antitrust regulation, setting boundaries in the AI sector and curbing tech giants from using their platform advantages to suppress competition.
