The European Commission has ordered Meta to “bring the conduct effectively to an end,” but didn’t specify what actions should be taken. Meta was also hit with a record-breaking $1.3 billion fine by the EU last year for transferring the Facebook data of EU citizens to the US.

The European Commission says Facebook's parent company is undermining its rivals by embedding its classified ads platform within the social network.

The European Commission has fined Meta €797.72 million after saying the tech giant's Marketplace held an unfair advantage.

European enforcers accused the tech giant of using its popular social network to unfairly advantage its classified-ads business.

The European Commission’s decision provides no evidence of competitive harm to rivals or any harm to consumers.

Meta received a fine of over $840 million on Wednesday for breaching the European Union’s antitrust rules as it relates to market domination after three years of legal proceedings. The multinational company was penalized for tying its online classified ads service Facebook Marketplace to its personal social network Facebook according to the release.
