AI Summary:
Facebook and Instagram’s parent company announced the new policy change on Friday, citing legal uncertainty about the bloc’s new rules on political advertising. The EU legislation, called the Transparency and Targeting of Political Advertising (TTPA), was prompted by concerns about disinformation and foreign interference in elections across the 27-country bloc. CEO Mark Zuckerberg settled a lawsuit brought on by shareholders over privacy violations. The suit alleged that the company failed to comply with a federal Trade Commission settlement in 2012 in efforts to protect consumer privacy.
