When Meta forced us to use its AI chatbot on WhatsApp, it did not have a detail: the European Commission

by

The European Commission has been fiercely fighting against monopolies in the technology sector for years. The persecution of Microsoft in the early 2000s it was just the beginning. In 2018 the EU imposed a historic fine on Google for abuse of dominant position with Android and last year they fined Facebook for the same reason. According to Financial TimesMeta is going to sit again in the dock accused of monopoly, this time for the Forced integration of Meta AI in WhatsApp. In the spotlight. The European Commission has not commented on the matter, but according to sources consulted by the Financial Times, Brussels is already investigating Meta for the integration of Meta AI into WhatsApp and the announcement will take place imminently. The case will be conducted under traditional monopoly laws and not under the Digital Markets Act or DMA. The accusation. The investigation has not yet been confirmed by the European Commission, but internal sources have revealed that the main reason is the deployment of Meta AI within WhatsApp, its AI chatbot. As we saw in its day, there is no way to avoid being activated and there is no option to hide it either. Let us remember that WhatsApp is the most used messaging app in the world, with 3 billion active users. Meta is already being investigated for this reason the competition authority in Italywhich considers that the integration of Meta AI “could limit production, market access or technical development” in the AI ​​chatbot sector. Goal returns to the bench. Just a year ago, Meta entered the select club of companies fined by the European Commission for violating the antitrust rules of the European Union. On that occasion, the product that was the object of the accusation was Facebook, more specifically for forcing the use of Facebook Marketplace, which, like Meta AI in WhatsApp, was activated without users’ permission. After several years of research, The Commission concluded that the company had violated the law and made them pay a fine of 800 million euros. Also in April of this year They had to pay 200 million for the case that required consent to the transfer of data. Historical fines. Facebook has come out cheap if we compare it with other sanctions, such as more than 4.3 billion that Google had to pay for abuse of dominant position with Android, and it has not been the only one that Mountain View has had to pay. In September of this year The EU fined Google 2.95 billion euros for abusing its position in the digital advertising market and currently Brussels is preparing another case by how they rank media results in their search results. USA against. The Trump administration has charged against the DMA and EU fineswhich he described as unfair and discriminatory, threatening to start a tariff war. Europe’s response was forceful: technological regulation “is a sovereign right of the EU.” Obviously the heads of the technology companies have also positioned themselves against it and earlier this year, Mark Zuckerberg called on the US government to that would protect technology companies from “European censorship”so we can assume that this new research will not have been very amusing. Judges in the US also see monopolies. At the same time as the criticism is occurring, in the United States there are also antitrust cases against big technology companies, such as the one that Google lost in 2024 and that threatened to force them to sell Chrome, although in the end they dodged the bullet. Goal too carried out a similar case recently in which accused them of monopoly over WhatsApp and Instagrambut in this case they won. We will see what happens if Europe makes its case against WhatsApp official. Images | European Commission, Xataka Android In Xataka | The United States seems determined to break its monopolies.

Justice condemns Meta to pay 479 million euros to Spanish media for unfair competition

by

Meta has been condemned by the Commercial Court No. 15 of Madrid to pay 479 million euros to 87 media and news agencies integrated into the Information Media Association. According to the ruling, picked up by AMIthe company is considered to have gained an unfair competitive advantage by illicitly using personal data on Facebook and Instagram for “behavioral advertising.” The resolution, dated November 19, 2025, is not final and can be appealed. We have requested comments from Meta and are awaiting a response. The origin of the case dates back to May 2018, when The General Data Protection Regulation came into force and Meta modified the legal basis for processing the personal data of its users, moving from consent to the supposed need for a contract. On December 1, 2023, the News Media Association filed the lawsuit in court. The preliminary hearing was held on November 27, 2024 and the oral hearing took place on October 1 and 2, 2025, after an economic claim of between 551 million euros. GDPR violation, not advertising violation. The resolution focuses on the way in which personal data was obtained and processed, rather than on the advertising activity itself. According to the ruling, the processing lacked a valid legal basis under the GDPR, because the contract formula does not replace informed consent. This violation is considered sufficient reason to activate article 15.1 of the Unfair Competition Law, which penalizes obtaining advantages in the market through regulatory non-compliance. The 5,281 million under analysis. During the procedure, the court notes, Meta Ireland did not provide its operating accounts in Spain, despite having been requested. Given this absence, the judge applied the rules of the burden of proof and validated the data presented by the plaintiff. Based on these elements, it estimated that, between May 25, 2018 and August 1, 2023, Meta would have earned more than 5,281 million euros with its advertising business in Spain. How compensation is calculated. To set the amount of compensation, the court used the Study on the conditions of competition in the online advertising sector in Spain prepared by the CNMC. Based on the market shares of the affected period, it was established that the income obtained by Meta through a practice contrary to the RGPD should be redistributed among competitors. The ruling considers it proven, with “reasonable plausibility,” that the digital press suffered lost profits. The ruling does not end the matter. The sentence itself admits of appeal and it will be the Provincial Court that will evaluate the arguments of both parties if the procedure continues. Until then, the case serves to place at the center the question of how privacy, commercial exploitation of data and competition should be related in the digital environment. The company has not yet expressed its position. We have requested your evaluation and are waiting to receive official comments.

The “godfather of AI” believes that AI LLMs are a dead end. Meta has turned him into a vase scientist

by

Yann LeCun has been warning for years that Generative AI is stupid. The current models, he claimed a year ago, are no more intelligent than a domestic cat. This speech has become especially uncomfortable especially because LeCun, considered one of the godfathers of AI, was until now one of the most responsible for this segment in Meta. Now everything seems to point to an imminent departure that will see LeCun found his own startup. Why is it important. While AI companies strive to train AI models by collecting more data and spending billions of dollars on computing power, LeCun is clear that this strategy is a dead end. It is something we have been talking about for a long time and that other experts like Andrej Karpathy have also have warned: This scaling of resources previously allowed notable leaps in performance. Not now. He knows what he’s talking about. In 2003 LeCun joined New York University and later founded the institution’s Data Science Center. In 2013, Mark Zuckerberg recruited him to lead his new AI division at Facebook called FAIR (Fundamental AI Research). In 2018, LeCun, along with Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio, won the Turing Awardthe highest honor in computer science, for his contribution to the study of neural networks. LLMs must give way to “world models”. LeCun has prophesied that within three to five years no one in their right mind will be using today’s LLMs. Instead of them, the architecture that will triumph will be that of the so-called “world models”which learn from the environment through visual information, similar to how a baby does, in contrast to LLMs, which are predictive models based on vast text databases. Internal tension. That vision of LeCun has ended up being a problem in Meta. Mark Zuckerberg does not seem to have the same opinion, and in recent months he has made it clear. with a bet multimillionaire in which ended up signing talent and creating its new superintelligence division that precisely reinforced the role of the LLM that LeCun sees as useless. An uncomfortable situation. These signings have caused the FAIR Group that LeCun led to lose prestige, resources and weight in the organization compared to that new AI research organization led by the new rising star, Alexandr Wang. Exit in sight. Last week the first rumors appeared that LeCun is planning his departure from Meta to create his own startup. Precisely this new company would explore the creation of those models of the world that this scientist and researcher wants to develop in depth. If he executed that step, it is very likely that the investment world would support that vision and offer him sufficient funds to work on it. It has happened with startups Ilya Sutskever and Mira Muratithat without having visible product They have achieved multi-million dollar financing rounds. LeCun seems to be right. The evolution of LLMs seems to confirm LeCun’s theory that they are not the valid way to achieve truly notable advances in the field of AI. What current models do is not so much solve problems as locate past instances of solved problems to use probability and apply answers. Don’t even think about pursuing LLMs.. In recent months, LeCun’s work in Meta has become more blurred and he has been seen participating in several conferences. In one of them gave a message clear to those aspiring to get into this field: “if you are a PhD student in AI, you should never work with LLMs.” Image | Goal In Xataka | The only advantage Apple could have in AI was its private cloud.

That Instagram and Facebook are plagued by fraudulent ads is bad. That Meta is making money with them is even worse

by

Congratulations! You have won an iPhone. the king Felipe VI announcing investments. Work at Primor and get paid up to 160 euros per hour. These are just three examples of fraudulent ads that have appeared on Facebook and Instagram, but there are many more. So many, that Meta is making money with them. What has happened? An investigation of Reuters has revealed that Meta estimated that 10% of all revenue volume would come from fraudulent ads, which would total $16 billion. In an internal document from December 2024, Meta estimated that its platform serves about 15 billion “high-risk” scam ads every day. By “high risk” they mean those that are clearly frauds, like those we mentioned in the introduction, so the real number would be even higher. It seems like fraud, because we charge you more. Meta has automated systems to detect these types of ads, the problem is that the policy to block them is quite lax. The documents reveal that ads are only blocked if the system identifies it as a scam with 95% certainty. If the percentage is lower, what they do is raise the advertiser’s fee to supposedly discourage them. That is, if they continue to advertise, Meta makes even more money from frauds. The favorite site of scammers. There is more. In another document, Meta admits that “It is easier to advertise scams on Meta platforms than on Google.” The information comes from channels in which scammers discuss their methods, although they do not specify the reasons for their choice. They also estimate that a third of all successful scams in the United States occur through their platforms. Regulation. Meta is in the crosshairs of regulators around the world. The European Commission initiated action against the company for the use of data to serve advertising to users. In United Kingdom took them to trial for the same reason and more recently the United States Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating them for the financial frauds advertised on their platform. In documents published by Reuters, Meta shows its intention to reduce illegal ads, but is concerned that a sudden reduction would negatively affect its revenue. Don’t touch my publi. Meta is in a delicate moment for the huge increase in spending on AI which, despite having achieved positive results in the last quarter, has caused its shares to fall 8%. Considering that targeted advertising is Meta’s main revenue stream, a reduction on this front could shake the entire house of cards. Meta responds. Speaking to Reuters, a Meta spokesperson criticized the news, saying the documents “present a selective view that distorts Meta’s approach to fraud and scams.” He says the estimate of 10% profit from scam ads was excessive and the actual figure was much lower, although he declined to give an updated figure. According to Meta, in the last year and a half, fraudulent ad notices have been reduced by 58% and in 2025 they will have eliminated more than 134 million scams from their platform.

Meta still believes in the metaverse, seriously, we’re not joking, he really believes it

by

At the end of 2025, the technological landscape is very different from what Meta imagined when it bet its future on metaverse. There are no millions of people with virtual reality headsets at home or meetings that replace the office with a permanent digital environment. The word “metaverse” It doesn’t even figure in most conversations about technology anymore. On the other hand, artificial intelligence has taken over public debate, the economy and the daily lives of users. The focus has shifted, but Meta insists that his vision has not disappeared, it has just changed shape, a little. You may remember when, in 2021, Facebook decided to change its name to Meta. It was not a simple branding, but a declaration of intent: Mark Zuckerberg assured that the future of the internet lay in the metaverse, a space where we could “feel present” even if we were far away. The company presented that vision as the next leap after social networks, a world in which avatars, virtual offices and a new digital economy would coexist daily. The plan sounded ambitious, almost inevitable, and Meta backed it with billions in investment. Meta still believes in the metaverse: this time he wants to take it everywhere, literally The big news is that the Meta metaverse no longer wants to live locked in a helmet. The company has begun to expand Horizon Worlds beyond virtual reality, bringing it to mobile and, little by little, to its own networks. Vishal Shah, vice president of metaverse, He explained it in The Verge: it’s not about doing something just mobile, but about playing and being together cross-platformwith Horizon accessible from headphones and mobile phones, and with integration tests on Facebook and Instagram. Meta seeks to make this 3D social layer accessible to anyone, without the need for specialized hardware, as a natural extension of its existing platforms. The change is not limited to strategy, it also affects technology. Meta has developed a new graphics engine for Horizon Worlds that seeks to offer more stable worlds compatible with mobile, headset or web. In addition, it has incorporated artificial intelligence tools that assist creators in tasks such as generating objects or animating environments. At its Connect conference, the company explained that this system allows “creating five times faster” than before. It is one more step towards the automation of development, with AI as the main ally. The commitment to the metaverse has also forced Meta to rethink its hardware. Quest helmets have gained in lightness, processing and optical quality, but the company recognizes that they are not yet devices designed to be worn all day. Now we are seeing how attention is shifting towards the Meta Ray-Ban Displaywhich include the Meta Neural Band (EMG bracelet) for gesture control. The future of work in the metaverse, according to Meta Meta also wants its metaverse to work beyond its own devices. That is why it launched Horizon OS, the operating system that supports its viewers and that it now offers to third parties. With this, the company seeks to replicate the Android model: a common base on which different brands can build their products. This movement fits with its commitment to interoperability and universal avatars, capable of maintaining the user’s identity regardless of the device. According to Meta, that is the necessary step for the metaverse to be truly open. One of Meta’s great challenges is to turn the metaverse into an economically viable space. To this end, it has launched different monetization initiatives in Horizon Worlds, from the sale of digital goods to incentive programs for creators. His speech is clear: without a functional economy, there will be no metaverse that lasts. Still, Meta insists that the creation tools and technical foundations are already in place for that model to grow over time. Since Facebook became Meta in 2021, the metaverse roadmap has gone through several stages. First came the initial enthusiasm and big promises. Then, in 2022, difficulties surfaced: internal leaks revealed that even employees were barely using Horizon Worlds. In 2023, the company tried to reactivate the project with new helmets and with the aforementioned Horizon OS. Already in 2024, the discourse changed: less bombast and more interoperability. In 2025, Meta talks about “Horizon everywhere”, a more transversal metaverse and less dependent on VR. The big challenge for Meta continues to be adoption. Bringing Horizon to mobile phones and social networks facilitates access, but there is still a need convince users that you are worth their time. The company needs to demonstrate that the metaverse provides something useful and constant, beyond the initial curiosity. Questions also remain about interoperability between platforms and how many people actually use it. Without clear signs of growth, the feeling is that the bet is still alive, but still far from becoming a mass phenomenon.

The Meta Ray-Ban Display wants to replace the smartphone. The question is whether they will be able to do it: Crossover 1×25

by

Mark Zuckerberg believes that In 2030 we will not take our smartphones out of our pockets so much because we will do almost everything from the glasses. This may be a fairly accurate prediction, especially after the launch of the Meta Ray-Ban Displayconnected glasses that are an important qualitative leap compared to traditional Ray-Ban Meta. Precisely to talk about If glasses can end up replacing the smartphone We have gotten together Jaume Lahoz, Jota and a server in Crossover 1×25. In this new episode we discuss everything about a launch that is certainly promising and even disruptive. So, we begin by talking about the integrated screen on the right lens of the glasses, an extraordinary option that allows you to display notifications and relevant information at all times. Added to this is that bracelet with electromyographic technology for gesture control, a fantastic way to interact with the interface of these glasses. Of course there is a worrying hidden face in this product: privacy risks. As with their predecessors, glasses can be used to capture images and video of what is in front of us, and that can spark new controversies in this regard. We also talk about how several manufacturers in China have similar models that even surpass Meta’s glasses in technical performance. And of course we review the history of devices that already wanted to tempt us in 2013 with the legendary Google Glass. Will other large technology companies enter this race? It seems inevitable, but the real question is whether glasses will actually become a great alternative to smartphones. Mark Zuckerberg is clear that yes. If you want to know what we think, We encourage you to take a look at the debatewhich we think has turned out great and interesting. Enjoy it! On YouTube | Crossover

The weirdest thing that Mark Zuckerberg was carrying in his presentation of the Ray-Ban Meta Display were not the glasses

by

During the last goal presentation, the brand revealed its new technology of connected glasses. On stage, Mark Zuckerberg made a master of ceremonies presenting in the first person the new glasses and did so equipped with the Integrated screen glassesas well as with the bracelet in your right hand that captures the movements of your fingers to control the functions of the glasses. However, while we were all looked at the operation of that technological pairnobody paid attention to what the meta -founding millionaire dressed in his left wrist: a rare watchmaking piece valued at more than $ 585,000. Hidden. While all worldwide attention focused on the technology of the new Ray-Ban Display glasses and the innovative bracelet designed to control them, Mark Zuckerberg managed to hide an even more unusual accessory than glasses with screen: a rare Swiss clock Greubel Forsey Nano Foudroyante Ewt valued at more than $ 585,000. It is not the first time that the millionaire chooses an exclusive piece of these Watchmaking artisans Switzerland to make some important announcement of the company. On the occasion of the announcement of changes in the moderation of target content, Zuckerberg chose a Greubel Forsey Hand Made 1 Tourbillona totally handmade piece of the Swiss watchmaker valued at about $ 900,000. A “rare avis” of collection. The Greubel Forsey Nano Foudroyante EWT (Experimental Watch Technology), one of the most unique and advanced pieces ever produced by the renowned firm. Highlights the level of crafts and complexity of its manufacture, with 428 components inside and an extremely limited annual production, since only 11 units have been manufactured for this first version, making each specimen an ultra exclusive rarityas Zuckerberg himself confessed to Drip in a later interview. According to the experts in the fieldhis greatest technological merit is found in his Foudroyante or “steering second.” The seconder is one of the elements that consumes the most energy in a clock since it requires that the hands of a complete return every second. However, Greubel Forsey has applied nanomechanics to reduce the size of that mechanism by consummating 1,800 times less energy to function than a conventional clock. Nanomechanics and High Watches. As indicated in The page From the manufacturer, Nano Foudroyante Ewt is the result of twenty years of investigations of Greubel Forsey, and his innovation with the functioning of the seconder It is qualified as his tenth “fundamental invention.” In this case, its milestone has been to get energy not measured in joules, it is that the mechanism is managed on a nanojulios scale. The technological advance of this model, not only affects its electrical consumption, but also the miniaturization also affects the size of the components, making the clock the most compact that has come out of its workshops, with only 37.9 mm in cash diameter and a 31 mm movement. With an innovation in each hand. The image of Mark Zuckerberg with the bracelet that controls the operation of the Ray-Ban Meta Display on a doll and the very rare Greubel Forsey clock in the other, is full of symbolism. A little over a year ago, this presentation would have made a Mark Zuckerberg dressed in Gray t -shirt and blue cowboy pantswithout more complement than the one presented by goal. On this occasion, on the other hand, an innovative company is presented that does not hesitate to ally with companies from other sectors such as Essilorluxotics to continue innovating. Who knows, if one day target dares to enter the field of smartwatches, maybe he does it from Greubel Forensy. In Xataka | The second -hand luxury watches market was in crisis.

New Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) Features Price Technical File

by

The first generation of The Ray-Ban Meta They had already shown that glasses could go far beyond aesthetics. Now, goal updates your proposal with the Ray-Ban Second generation target, that arrive with key improvements in such relevant aspects as autonomy, image quality or new colors for their range. With these improvements, Meta seeks to strengthen the position of your market glasses. According to the data of the Counterpoint consultancy published by Wiredthe Ray-Ban Meta represented more than 60% of the world market in its category.

A direct evolution of the Meta Ray (Gen 1) Goal and Ray-Ban maintain the same idea that made the first version of the Ray-Ban Meta into a success: glasses with the iconic design of the Ray-Ban Wayfarer and multimedia and connectivity functions. In that aspect, goal has remained conservative and has not altered its formula, so there are no design differences between the first generation and the second. However, the finish line (Gen 2) improve that bet in key sections. The most important: its battery. The new version Duplicate your autonomy and reach up to eight hours of use. The Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) manage to load 50% of their battery in 20 minutes and allow a total autonomy of up to 48 hours thanks to the additional loads provided by their case. Your camera 12 megapixel ultrapanoramic It also adds to the updates and is now able to record 3K video with up to 60 fps and HDR, which is a qualitative leap in terms of image quality from the 1080p of the previous model, and allows videos to be taken in Slow Motion (slow camera) and Hyperlapse (fast camera). Like the previous model, the glasses of the glasses integrate open speakers that allow to listen to music or attend calls without isolation from the environment. Goal ensures that these speakers have improved increasing its power In this second generation. As support for sound quality, glasses have a five -microphone matrix that capture the sound of the voice clearly. Inside, glasses have 32 GB of memory To store up to 500 photos or 100 videos of 30 seconds. In addition to Wi-Fi 6 connectivity and Bluetooth 5.3 to quickly match them with the mobile. Iconic style and better integration with AI As was the case with the first model, the new glasses do not seem like a technological device, but a lifetime. The new options catalog includes More than 27 combinations of shapes, colors and lenses, from the classic wayfarer to more current proposals such as Skyler or Headliner. The second generation incorporates new limited editions in striking tones such as Cosmic Blue, Mystic Violet or Asteroid Gray, designed for those who seek an extra customization and can combine with graduated crystals and transition lenses, which are darkened upon receiving sunlight. The integration of artificial intelligence is another of the buzas of this renewal. The camera and microphones allow to capture photos and videos with a simple voice command, without the need to get the mobile from the pocket or touch the staple button. Among its most useful functions, the Real -time translationwhich is now expanded to six languages, including German and Portuguese. For its part, the context assistant is able to identify the monuments, paintings, sculptures or objects that you are looking at and offer information about them. One of the most striking novelties that will arrive in upcoming updates is conversation Focus, a function that will take advantage of open speakers to highlight the voice of the person with whom you speak even in noisy environments, such as a cafeteria or a park. Price and availability of Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) are already available in Europe for 419 euros.

Meta messaging application does not work correctly

by

It is not your connection, neither does your computer. WhatsApp is experiencing problems This Wednesday night, and everything indicates that the failure is concentrated in its web version. When trying to access Web.whatsapp.comthe page loads partially, but the chats do not show themselves. Only the application logo accompanied by the message “Extreme to end” appears. For practical purposes, the service is blocked for those who depend on the desktop customer. The fall has been reflected in Downdectorthe platform that monitors the status of online services. The first user reports They began to register at 9:00 p.m.and after 23:00 they were already counted for hundreds. At this time, goal has not offered any official explanation about what happened. His profiles in X and Threads They do not contain messages that clarify the failure. The origin of the problem is not clear, and that leave several hypotheses open. In cases like this, the causes can range from failures on the finish lines to interruptions in one of their infrastructure suppliers, or even specific incidents in network operators that hinder the connection between the web client and the company’s servers. For now, the only thing confirmed is that the mobile app, both in Android and in iOS, continues to function normally. Everything indicates that it is an isolated interruption that affects only the WhatsApp web version.

A Netscape decision in the 90s explains why Google and Meta grow up with each technological revolution

by

In 1995, engineers of Netscape They faced a problem during a development night: how to allow websites to execute code without being able to steal user data? Thirty years later, its solution, the ‘Same-Origin Policy‘(Policy of the same origin), has become the invisible architecture that governs all the Internet. Why is it important. Each website became an isolated universe, unable to communicate with others. That night decision explains why we can barely escape the Apple ecosystem, why our data live trapped in silos and why each technological revolution makes the usual giants more powerful. The context. Alex Komoroske, former strategy director in Stripe and former director of Google for 13 years, He has identified what he calls the “iron triangle” of modern software. System designers can only combine two of these three elements: Sensitive data. Internet access. And non -reliable code. The logic is simple: if you allow unknown code to access personal data and have Internet connection, you can steal everything and send it anywhere. The solution was the total isolation. Each application became a fortress where your Instagram data cannot talk to Uber’s, your Apple photos cannot be processed by Google tools, and each service begins knowing zero about you. In detail. Komoroske Talk about this phenomenon With the water metaphor going down a mountain. Each obstacle does not stop the flow, redirects it where there is less resistance. Over time, channels are formed that attract more water to become increasingly large rivers. Planning a trip illustrates this mechanism: Flights in the mail. Hotel in another app. Restaurants in Google Docs. Calendar in a different tool. The constant friction of copying, pasteing and reformating leads to grant access to a single service that already knows all your context. Without friction, everything works perfect. When you share the trip, you use the tool that already has all the information. The threat. The AI promises to be different, but is inheriting the same physics. The LLMS They can create almost free software – a developer with AI can build in hours what it took weeks – allowing infinitely personalized tools. But this “infinite software” distributed through traditional stores does not solve our problems: it amplifies them. More applications mean more silos, more places where your data is trapped. The AI needs context to be useful, but our current security model means that sharing context is a commitment of all or nothing. Yes, but. The technical pieces to transcend this paradigm already exist. Modern Intel, AMD and ARM chips include “safe enclaves“, encrypted and protected memory regions of anyone, including cloud administrators. AI brings us a unique opportunity, because it makes the current limitation evident. The technical pieces already exist and it is the first time in thirty years that we can transcend this policy. While nothing changes, the concentration of power will continue to reinforce.
