EC to grill Meta on Facebook 'subscription for no ads' plan.

The European Commission (EC) has requested more information from Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, to assess its compliance with privacy and security laws in the European Union (EU). The EC has also asked Meta to speed up its responses to previous requests for information regarding election information, terrorism, and the protection of minors. Meta has until March 15 to provide this information, with additional information about its pay-to-opt-out-of-tracking program due by March 22. The request for information follows complaints filed by consumer protection watchdog groups accusing Meta of violating GDPR and misusing customer information. [Extracted from the article]
