Meta Platforms Inc. is headed for another clash with the European Union after a €200 million ($232 million) fine failed to bring Facebook and Instagram into compliance with a tough new digital law.

The European Commission wrote to the social network giant last week, cautioning that Meta’s pay or consent service — allowing ad-free services for a fee — needs further reworking, the Brussels-based EU executive told Bloomberg.
