(Photo by Miguel MEDINA / AFP) The European Union has escalated antitrust scrutiny against Meta Platforms, warning it may impose interim measures over its decision to restrict rival artificial intelligence (AI) services on WhatsApp. The European Commission stated that Meta’s policy change, effective January 15, limits WhatsApp’s AI capabilities to its own assistant, Meta AI, effectively barring competing AI developers from operating on the platform. The Commission has formally charged Meta with breaching EU competition rules, issuing a “statement of objections” that outlines its preliminary view that the company’s actions could distort competition in digital markets. Meta will have the opportunity to respond before a final ruling is made. “The Commission intends to impose interim measures to prevent serious and irreparable harm to the market,” the statement said, highlighting concerns that waiting for a full investigation could

Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr today announced that Reed Cohen Skelton, 26, of Bowersville, has been convicted of trafficking a 16-year-old female in Fulton County. Skelton, who is a former ICU nurse, communicated with the victim using social media apps, including Snapchat, before trafficking her months later. “This is the disturbing reality that we’re seeing online, where traffickers are targeting our children for abuse and exploitation,” said Carr. “Whether it’s Snapchat or Roblox or any other app, child predators will find a way to communicate with their next victim, and we’re doing everything in our power to stop them. Our team is on the ground leading this fight, and we won’t rest until every child is safe and every trafficker is brought to justice.” This case was prosecuted by former Assistant Attorney General Kaitlyn (Fain) Salinas and Assistant Attorney General Claire Anderson of the Attorney General’s Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit. It was investigated by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s (GBI) Human Exploitation and Trafficking (HEAT) Unit, the Cobb County Police Department, and the Attorney General’s Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit, with assistance from the Gainesville Police Department, the Hart County Sheriff’s Office, the Hall County Sheriff’s Office, the Fulton County Sheriff’s

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The Cotswolds in the United Kingdom attracts tourists from all over the world for its alluring rolling hills, quaint villages and historic mountains. Now, one town in the region is looking to maintain its enduring beauty — and its global allure — by proposing a fine on locals who leave out their trash cans too long.  The effort is apparently about appealing to tourists who are busy snapping Instagrams. It is also connected to housing costs.  ISLAND CRACKS DOWN AS TOURISTS ARE SLAPPED WITH NEW FEES, FED-UP LOCALS REVOLT The Tewkesbury Civic Society first proposed a "Rid Tewkesbury of Bin Blight" plan back in June, according to news agency SWNS. It recommended that permanent trash cans be removed from the street after collection, according to committee meeting notes. The town of Tewkesbury, in Gloucestershire in the Cotswolds, is considering fines for those who leave their trash cans out after garbage collection. (iStock) On Feb. 10, a working group submitted a six-month pilot proposal to introduce a "graduated approach" to enforcement. "Tewkesbury’s unique Conservation Area was being severely degraded by domestic and, increasingly, commercial bins," said the original petitioner’s statement. CLICK HERE TO

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has laid out a tougher stance on protecting children online. The plan includes tightening existing safety laws so AI chatbot providers are “firmly in scope,” and seeking new powers that could enable a minimum social media age, restrict “endless scroll or autoplay,” and limit VPN use by children to bypass age controls. As a parent, I recognize the instinct behind Keir Starmer’s post: the feeling that digital experiences can shape childhood in ways most families never agreed to. For CX leaders, the bigger point is that online safety is becoming a design-and-operations problem, and governments are starting to regulate the mechanics of the journey, not only the content inside it. What Starmer Actually Signaled Keir Starmer, UK Prime Minister has framed the next phase as faster intervention, and positioned the government as willing to confront major platforms if needed. He explicitly links the agenda to emerging AI risks, referencing action taken to ensure X’s Grok could no longer make non-consensual images, and says the UK will tighten online safety laws so AI chatbot providers are covered. “First, we are tightening up our existing online safety laws to ensure AI chatbots providers are firmly in scope.”
