Mita Mark Zuckerberg is said to be pleading with the Trump administration to intervene on behalf of the social media giant because she faces a huge fine under the rules of anti -monopoly of the European Union.
The European Commission, which is to monitor the competition in the European Union, is preparing for a dead fishing for what is expected to be hundreds of millions of dollars and perhaps more than a billion dollars, as the publication stated.
Meta will also receive a stop notification and Desist shows in detail the practices that must change to reach compliance.
In an attempt to drop the sanctions – or completely avoid them – META executives prompted the United States' commercial officials under Trump to resist the efforts of the European Union, according to the Wall Street Journal, citing sources familiar with the matter.
A Meta spokesman said in a statement when it was reached to comment on the report.
The White House and representatives of the European Commission did not immediately request the job for comment.
The fine against Mita was expected to be announced by the end of this week – although the Yurakev news site had informed that the European Union's competition, Theresa Ribera, who is currently working in the United States, was delaying the advertisement until it returns.
Zuckerberg personally prepared the case in European regulations at meeting with US officials in February.
The founder of Facebook was abandoning Trump, and until his visit in Mar Lago and the main Trump ally, UFC Dana White, to the Meta Board of Directors.
Although Trump was one of the audio critic of the European Union's honesty to impose huge fines on American companies. The President pointed to the sanctions as “blackmail abroad” and threatened revenge measures as part of its continuous trade conflict with the European Union.
The Digital Market Law (DMA) was in force in 2023 and applied difficult competition rules for Meta and six other companies considered to the Internet gates guard – Apple, Google Parent Alphabet, Amazon, Booking.com, Tiktok Parent byedance and Microsoft.
Apple is also expected to be fined as well as Google as part of the first wave of DMA sanctions against American major technology giants.
Multiple outlets stated that European Union officials have been appointed to implement “modest fines” aimed at promoting compliance with the law without drawing Trump's full anger.
According to the magazine, some European Union officials were concerned about announcing fines before Trump revealed his plans for mutual definitions against Europe. The Trump administration described its announcement on Wednesday as a “liberation day.”
The European Commission has targeted Mita to force the alleged customers on the “payment or approval” model for ads on Instagram and Facebook.
Officials say customers should have the ability to access Meta services for free without giving permission to personal ads.
Initial charges were revealed against Mita last year.
In the public compliance report published last month, Mita said that she “continued to receive additional demands that go beyond what is written in the law” despite the efforts made to adhere to the DMA rules.
Joel Kaplan, a well -connected Republic, working as a senior political official in Meta, said last month that the company “will not be ashamed” to ask Trump's assistance in response to the European Union campaign.
“When companies are dealt with differently and in a discriminatory way against them, this must be highlighted on the government of that company's home,” Kaplan said, according to Bloomberg.
Separately, Zuckerberg himself made the case that Trump should go to Bat for American technology companies facing European Union fines during the appearance of “Joe Rogan Experience”.
Last year, Apple became the first company to obtain DMA violations by allegedly banning competitors' app developers from easily directing customers to services outside the application store.
The fine of the European Union is expected to punish Apple on this case.
