Meta Platforms will only make limited changes to its pay-or-consent model rolled out in November 2024 and EU antitrust regulators cannot verify for now if the changes are sufficient to comply with an EU antitrust order, the European Commission said on Friday.

"With this in mind, we will consider the next steps, including recalling that continuous non-compliance could entail the application of periodic penalty payments running as of 27 June 2025, as indicated in the non-compliance decision," a Commission spokesperson said in an email.
