Instagram and Facebook will likely require a redesign after EU rules they’re ‘addictive’

Meta's Instagram and Facebook are in breach of EU's Digital Services Act due to their addictive design. This could lead to a redesign and a $12 billion fine. The EU criticizes features like personalized recommendations and infinite scroll for fueling user addiction. Engineers should be aware of these changes and consider redesigning their own products. Compliance with the EU's DSA is crucial to avoid fines.
