Meta has refused to sign the European Union’s code of practice for its AI Act, weeks before the bloc’s rules for providers of general-purpose AI models take effect.
“Europe is heading down the wrong path on AI,” wrote Meta’s chief global affairs officer Joel Kaplan in a post on LinkedIn. “We have carefully reviewed the European Commission’s Code of Practice for general-purpose AI (GPAI) models and Meta won’t be signing it. This Code introduces a number of legal uncertainties for model developers, as well as measures which go far beyond the scope of the AI Act.”
Tech companies from across the world, including those at the forefront of the AI race like Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft and Mistral AI have been fighting the rules, even urging the European Commission to delay its roll out. But the Commission has held firm, saying it will not change its timeline.

They can get the fuck out of the EU market then
While I’m very happy to see it, what about Whatsapp users in the EU? Suckerberg knows that this is Meta’s strong position, and that’s why he insisted on not signing.
Whatsapp can fuck off too, for all i care. I’ll be happy to see it leave, so people can switch to something decent instead
legal uncertainties
aka rules and regulations, and Zuck doesn’t like that.

No, you probably had your Meta AI ✨ read it and summarize it for you in like 3 bullet points because you losers put so much faith in your stupid overhyped hallucinating chatbots. I’m not in the EU but I hope this means they can’t operate it there and free you EU citizens from that garbage.
