EU regulators challenge Meta's WhatsApp access restrictions, threatening the company's AI monetization strategy in Europe

The European Commission is preparing interim measures against Meta Platforms over WhatsApp access policies that may block rival AI chatbots from integrating with WhatsApp Business

Regulators argue Meta's recent policy changes unfairly restrict competitors' ability to integrate with the platform in Europe

The Commission may order Meta to restore earlier terms of service, which could significantly impact WhatsApp Business monetization plans in the region

The action represents fresh regulatory pressure on Meta in a critical market during a sensitive time for the company's stock performance
