01:18 PM EDT, 05/05/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Meta Platforms ( META ) is facing two formal investigations by Coimisiun na Mean over its Facebook and Instagram services under the EU Digital Services Act, the Irish regulator said Tuesday.

The probes will assess whether the platforms breached provisions of the DSA related to user choice and interface design, including whether so-called "dark patterns" may have limited users' ability to select content feeds not based on profiling.

The investigations will examine whether users can easily access and modify their preferred "recommender systems" and whether the platforms' interfaces may mislead or manipulate users away from opting out of personalized feeds, the regulator said.

Coimisiun na Mean said it is coordinating with the European Commission and other EU regulators on the matter. If violations are found, Meta could face fines of up to 6% of its turnover, according to the regulator.

Meta did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for a comment.
