Irish regulators have opened two investigations into Meta over whether the company is sufficiently complying with a European law requiring platforms to offer users alternatives to targeted algorithmic feeds. Coimisiún na Meán, Ireland's internet watchdog, said Tuesday that it was responding to complaints the company was using "dark patterns" to prevent people from accessing alternative feeds on Facebook and Instagram.
