Teresa Ribera urges restored WhatsApp access
European Union antitrust chief Teresa Ribera called out Meta's move, saying just swapping old restrictions for new fees is still unfair when you're already a market giant.
The European Union wants things back the way they were before October 2025, meaning third-party AIs can rejoin WhatsApp without extra hurdles.
This is all part of Europe's bigger push to keep Big Tech in check and make sure everyone gets a fair shot, even if you're not one of the U.S.-based giants.
