The EU ramps up DSA enforcement against Meta over minors, advances age verification, and accelerates DMA interoperability rules for Android.

EU Level

DSA

The Commission preliminarily found Meta in breach of the DSA over ineffective age controls allowing under-13s access, signalling stricter age-assurance expectations for platforms.

The Commission is pushing rollout of the EU age-verification app by end-2026, positioning it as a key tool for minors’ protection and future age-assurance standards.

Croatia received an additional formal notice over gaps in DSA enforcement powers and coordinator authority, highlighting pressure for stronger national enforcement structures.

DMA

The Commission is consulting on Android interoperability measures under the DMA, aimed at improving access to key Android features and increasing user choice for competing AI services, developers, and device makers.

The first DMA review found the regime remains “fit for purpose,” reinforcing support for interoperability, data portability, third-party app stores, and continued enforcement.
