The European Consumer Organisation urges EU authorities to intervene against Meta Platforms, citing concerns that Meta’s revised pay-or-consent policy violates EU law. The initial fee-based service caused backlash, leading to complaints and investigations by European authorities. Despite a new version, BEUC and members still believe Meta’s policy breaches EU law on multiple fronts.

Consumer groups accuse Meta of using misleading practices and unclear terms to push users towards its preferred option. BEUC Director General Agustín Reyna argues that Meta fails to offer users a fair choice and is not complying with EU law. Authorities are urged to investigate Meta’s latest policy and take action to protect consumers.
