Facebook and Instagram disable features in Europe
The company says some of its messaging features may need to be adapted to comply with EU rules.

There’s nothing in the ePrivacy directive that bans the use of fun stickers or polls in messaging apps, so Facebook’s move to disable them is a bit puzzling.
