Investing.com -- Brussels is planning a new antitrust investigation into Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META) over the rollout of artificial intelligence features within WhatsApp, the Financial Times reported on Thursday.

The European Commission is set to open the probe into how the Silicon Valley company integrated its Meta AI system within its popular messaging service earlier this year, according to the report, which cited two officials.

The commission could announce the investigation in the coming days, though the timing might shift, the newspaper said.

The investigation would mark another regulatory challenge for Meta in Europe, where the company has faced increasing scrutiny over its business practices across its family of apps.
