On October 24, 2025, the European Commission charged Meta Platforms with failing to give users a straightforward way to report illegal content and formally accused the company of violating the Digital Markets Act due to its 'consent or pay' ad model[2][3]. These regulatory actions from the EU represent major legal and operational risks for Meta, potentially impacting its business practices and user engagement in Europe. Despite these developments, Meta's stock price showed resilience, trading at $738.59 (+0.63%) pre-market after closing at $734.00 (+0.08%) on October 23, 2025, with no evidence of a sharp negative reaction in the provided price context.
