META

<p>Meta Platforms 的股票因新的欧盟法规影响其 WhatsApp 服务而下跌 2%，该服务的活跃用户已超过 4680 万。被指定为 “非常大型在线平台” 将会施加更严格的内容审核和数据隐私控制，可能会限制盈利机会。尽管面临这一挫折，Meta 的股票在过去一年中上涨了 48.5%，分析师认为这些监管变化不会对公司的长期前景产生重大影响</p>

<p><strong>Meta Platforms</strong>(META -1.85%) stock is losing ground Wednesday. The tech giant's share price was down 2% as of 2 p.m. ET and had been down as much as 2.9% earlier in the daily session.</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><h2>Meta 股票因 WhatsApp 跨越监管门槛而下滑</h2>
</div><p>In a filing submitted on Feb. 14, Meta Platforms revealed that it had roughly 46.8 million average monthly active users on its WhatsApp platform across the six-month period that concluded on Dec. 31. While growth for WhatsApp is good news in many respects, the service is now above the 45 million user threshold that causes platforms to fall under the European Union's Digital Services Act. A spokesperson from the European Commission confirmed that WhatsApp would now be subject to the tighter regulations that come with the &#34;very large online platform&#34; designation under the law.</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><h2>Meta Platforms 接下来会怎样？</h2>
</div><p>Meta's WhatsApp service has still not been officially designated as a large platform, but it's likely that it will be included in the category in the very near future. As a result, the service will be subject to stricter content moderation and monitoring policies. The shift will also give users greater control over their data privacy on the platform and close off some monetization opportunities for Meta.</p>

</div><p>While the upcoming regulatory shift for WhatsApp isn't favorable for Meta, it's also unsurprising and doesn't represent a material divergence in the company's long-term outlook. As a messaging platform, content moderation costs should be relatively low compared to other types of social media platforms -- and Meta is already dealing with the large online platform designation for its Facebook and Instagram services in the E.U.</p>

</div><p>Recent comments from national leaders of E.U. countries also suggest that the supranational organization may soon move to create more lax regulatory standards for the tech industry. Even if that doesn't wind up impacting WhatsApp in a meaningful way, it's likely that new regulations applying to the service will wind up being a small footnote for Meta within a year's time.</p>
