Meta Platforms is facing its first EU fine over allegations it abused its dominance in the classified ad market by tying its Facebook Marketplace to its social network.

As part of the upcoming EU order — set to be issued in the coming months — European Commission regulators could also tell Facebook it will have to create a separate version of its classified ads platform, according to people familiar with the matter.
