WhatsApp AI

.The EU has opened an antitrust probe into Meta’s policy allowing AI providers to access WhatsApp’s platform, questioning whether it breaches competition rules. Meta disputes the claims, saying the API isn’t built for AI chatbots and that the AI market is competitive. The investigation follows recent fines on Google, Apple and Meta for anti‑competitive practices. Regulators fear AI integration could create “gatekeeping” and privacy risks, prompting Meta to consider a cautious, limited rollout to avoid penalties and protect its market position.
