What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

In the Netherlands, the Dutch gambling trade association VNLOK summoned Meta before the Amsterdam court, arguing the company fails its obligations under the Digital Services Act (DSA) regarding illegal gambling adverts on Facebook and Instagram. VNLOK claims over 90% of examined Facebook gambling adverts originated from illegal sites. Separately, Italy’s communications regulator, AGCOM, issued an enforcement decision against Meta in December 2023 under Italy’s national gambling advertising ban.
