Meta's global affairs lead Joel Kaplan said the company would alert Trump when it felt it was being unfairly targeted abroad by regulators.

The warning comes after Zuckerberg pledged to join President Trump in pushing back on governments around the world that go after American companies.

Meta Platforms is rolling out a new partnership program to appease European Union antitrust regulators that will let rival classified advertisement companies list ads on Facebook Marketplace in the EU.

WhatsApp has hit a user criterion set out in landmark EU tech rules, the unit owned by Meta Platforms said, meaning it is required to do more to tackle online illegal and harmful content.

Meta Platforms Inc.’s global policy director said the technology giant “won’t shy away” from taking up its case with President Donald Trump if the European Union uses its digital rules to target Meta’s products.

In the interest of what it calls fairness and stability, the European Union has decided to push forth with anti-trade investigations into companies like Apple, Meta, and X, hoping to reach a conclusion by March.

Meta Platforms (META) will allow its competitors to list their ads on Facebook Marketplace, Reuters reported Thursday.

Meta Platforms Inc.’s messaging service WhatsApp reached a crucial user milestone likely to bind it to more stringent rules under the European Union’s Digital Services Act.

According to Bloomberg, Kaplan popped over to Europe to let political leaders there know Meta “won’t shy away” from getting President Donald Trump involved if it continues to face crackdowns at the hands of the European Union.

Meta Platforms will allow rival classified ads service providers to post listings of their ads on Facebook Marketplace, the company said on Thursday, three months after it was hit with a 797-million euro ($828 million) EU antitrust fine for giving its own service an unfair advantage.

When companies are treated differently and in a way that is discriminatory against them, then that should be highlighted to that company’s home government,” Meta’s global affairs head said.
