Facebook parent Meta has ‘Donald Trump warning’ for European Union on WhatsApp and Instagram

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, will not hesitate to seek the US President Trump’s intervention if the European Union unfairly targets the company with its digital regulations, according to Meta’s global policy director Joel Kaplan.

Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Kaplan said Meta would alert the U.S. government to any discriminatory treatment while continuing to operate within EU laws, Bloomberg reported. The statement comes amid escalating tensions between U.S. tech companies and European regulators.
