EU Orders Meta to Kill Autoplay and Infinite Scroll — Indian Users Could Feel It Too
Ars Technica·Sunday, 12 July 2026
The European Union has told Meta to disable autoplay and infinite scroll on its platforms or face massive fines under the Digital Services Act. The DSA is a sweeping law that forces big tech platforms to reduce addictive design features. Meta will likely have to make significant changes to how Instagram and Facebook work.
Why It Matters
India has hundreds of millions of Facebook and Instagram users. Any changes Meta makes to its platforms globally — or even just in regions that influence its product decisions — could affect how Indians experience these apps every day.
