UK Regulator Investigates Meta Over Instagram Instants Feature
The UK's communications regulator, Ofcom, is investigating Meta over its Instagram Instants feature. Ofcom is examining whether Meta, the parent company of Instagram, conducted an adequate risk assessment before launching the feature, which allows users to share content that disappears after viewing. The investigation is being conducted under the UK's Online Safety Act, with Ofcom stating that Instagram had not fully assessed the risks posed by Instants prior to its launch.
