EU orders Meta to reopen WhatsApp to AI rivals for free
The European Commission ordered Meta to provide free access to WhatsApp for competing AI assistants, reversing recent restrictions. Meta must restore previous terms by next week, with the EU citing competition risks in fast-evolving markets. The decision follows months of regulatory back-and-forth and could face Meta's appeal.
