Meta to Allow EU Users to Unlink Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger Accounts

Move Comes in Response to Upcoming Digital Markets Act Regulations

Meta is set to allow users in Europe to unlink their Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger accounts in response to the upcoming Digital Markets Act (DMA) regulations.
The DMA, which comes into effect in March 2024, aims to promote fair competition and consumer options in the digital marketplace.
Users will be able to use Facebook Messenger, Marketplace, and Gaming without sharing their personal data, although some functionality will be limited.
The changes will apply in the European Union, European Economic Area, and Switzerland, with notifications informing users of the change appearing in the coming weeks.
Meta's decision to comply with the DMA follows similar moves by Google, which also plans to let users stop data sharing across its services.
