🚨 Instagram and Facebook feed pages may be controlling you! Why is Meta vulnerable to a fine of 8 lakh?

🚨 Instagram and Facebook feed pages may be controlling you! Why would Meta risk a fine of 8 billion baht? 📱💸

Have you ever felt that social media feeds know too much about us that they sometimes show us the same things? Most recently, this issue is becoming a global one!

🇮🇪 Irish media regulator Coimisiún na Meán has officially opened an investigation into Meta's Recommender Systems on Facebook and Instagram.

🧐 What happened?

The main point is concerns over the use of "Dark Patterns" or application page design that deliberately makes it harder for users to find the "Non-profiled feeds" button.

⚖️ What does European law say?

Under the European Union's Digital Servicing Law (DSA), social platforms are required to have a content guidance system that does not track user behaviour and, importantly, must make this option "easy to access" and press change at any time.

⚠️. Potential impact.

The investigation also targeted the risk of algorithms that could push negative content into repeated feed pages that directly affect the mental state of children and youth. If found guilty, Meta could face fines of up to 6% of its global revenue, or about €20 billion (about $7.9 billion!).

🗣️ However, the Meta side has issued confirmation that it did not violate the regulations and is ready to cooperate fully with the investigation.

💡 So how do we set up our own feed?

Try this step:

1️⃣ Open the Instagram or Facebook app.

2️⃣ Go to "Settings"

3️⃣ Look for "Content preferences" or "Feed options."

4️⃣ Select "Non-personalized feed" if available.

👉 But if you follow it and feel that it is rare or complicated,..That's what the regulators are investigating!
