The European Commission issued preliminary findings on April 29, 2026 that Meta is violating the Digital Services Act by failing to prevent children under 13 from accessing Facebook and Instagram, with regulators estimating 10–12% of users on those platforms are underage. The case opens the door to fines of up to 6% of Meta's $201 billion annual revenue—roughly $12 billion—while raising broader questions about whether any age verification system can work at scale without creating new privacy and civil liberties harms.
