The European Union just dropped a major regulatory bombshell on WhatsApp. EU watchdogs announced Thursday they're launching a full-blown antitrust probe into the platform's AI policy framework. Regulators are scrutinizing how the messaging giant handles artificial intelligence integration—raising questions about data practices, user consent mechanisms, and potential market dominance issues. This investigation marks another chapter in Europe's aggressive push to rein in Big Tech's AI ambitions. With WhatsApp serving billions globally, the outcome could reshape how messaging platforms deploy machine learning technologies across the bloc. Stay tuned as Brussels digs deeper into whether the company's AI approach crosses competitive red lines.

Here we go again, the EU is targeting WhatsApp's AI. These people are always thinking about how to put restrictions on American tech companies.
