Comesa probes Meta for locking rival chatbots out of WhatsApp
Meta has pushed back against the flurry of probes into its decision to lock out third party AI platforms from WhatsApp, saying it was necessary to protect the integrity of the platform.
The Comesa Competition and Consumer Commission (CCCC) has launched a probe into suspected anti-competitive practices by Facebook's parent firm Meta in the region, joining a long list of regulators around the globe already looking into the American company’s conduct in different markets.
It joins regulators in the European Union, Italy, Brazil, and South Africa, which have recently looked into Meta’s conduct, specifically regarding the blocking of third-parties’ services from integrating with WhatsApp.
