⚖️ EU Orders Meta to Open WhatsApp to Third-Party AI Chatbots
The European Commission has issued an urgent mandate requiring Meta to provide competing AI chats with free access to WhatsApp within five working days. The decision was made as part of an antitrust investigation into access restrictions favoring Meta AI.
🌍 This is the first instance of such interim measures being applied in 17 years, demonstrating the EU's aggressive approach to regulating AI markets and protecting competition in its early stages.
👤 Competing services, such as OpenAI, will soon be able to integrate directly into WhatsApp without additional fees, expanding the choice of tools for users in Europe.
