EU Orders Meta to Kill Autoplay and Infinite Scroll — India's Platforms Should Watch Closely
Ars Technica·Monday, 13 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 the EU's major law regulating how big tech platforms operate and protect users. This could force Meta to make significant changes to Facebook and Instagram.
Why It Matters
India has hundreds of millions of Facebook and Instagram users. If Meta changes these features globally to comply, Indian users could see a very different social media experience — and it may push Indian regulators to demand similar changes.
