European Commission fines Meta for serving consumers

European Commission fined Meta 798 million euros for "tying" classified ads on Facebook Marketplace to social accounts on Facebook.

Frida Ghitis : It's yet another "huge antitrust fine" against a leading American technology company.

She says the fines are paid into the general European Union ( E.U. ) budget; they should be friendlier to innovation and competition.

Ghitis asks why the commission has prosecuted this case of limited policy importance.
