Poland's Deputy Prime Minister has called on the EU to fine Meta €250 million for failing to adequately address scam ads on Facebook and Instagram, requesting an investigation under the Digital Services Act for multiple alleged breaches.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Social & Community, and 3 sources have reported it between 27 Aug 2026 and 28 Aug 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You are seeing the EU enforce its Digital Services Act with large fines aimed at platform responsibility for scams. Meta’s weak response signals a window for companies that can better secure ad ecosystems or offer compliance tools.
