Finnish Prime Minister admits to partying in a ‘boisterous way’

Published

Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin has admitted to partying in a ‘boisterous way’ after the following video was leaked online

Political opponents have used the footage to mount an attack against the leader… as she dances in a private home.

The 36-year-old has since addressed the footage, telling reporters she ‘resents’ that these have been published in the public domain.

Speaking candidly, Marin says she spent a night with her friends, where she danced and sang.

But politicians on the other side of the aisle aren’t convinced.

They say the behaviour isn’t how a prime minister should be acting, with one opposition MP tweeting she should undergo a drug test.

But Marin is adamant only alcohol was consumed, and she is not aware of any drug use.

She is also denying the footage was leaked as part of a blackmail scheme.

EU launches antitrust probe into Meta over WhatsApp AI policy

EU probes Meta’s WhatsApp AI chatbot policy for potential antitrust violations affecting third-party developers and competition.


The European Commission has opened an antitrust investigation into Meta over WhatsApp’s new AI chatbot policy. The inquiry examines whether the policy restricts third-party AI developers from accessing WhatsApp’s business tools, potentially breaching EU competition rules.

Meta updated its terms, effective January 2026, which have already barred new AI providers since October 15. The rules prohibit AI developers from using WhatsApp as their primary service, affecting a number of AI companies looking to integrate with the platform.

The EU’s competition commissioner is considering interim measures to ensure fair competition. If Meta is found in violation, it could face fines of up to 10% of its global annual revenue.
