This marks the first time a major tech platform has explicitly rejected voluntary AI governance standards, creating a precedent of resistance against unified digital control systems. Meta's position represents a significant fracture in the attempted consolidation of global AI oversight - a dynamic not seen in previous technology regulation efforts.

📰 What Happened
Meta's chief global affairs officer Joel Kaplan announced on July 19, 2025 that the company will not sign the EU's voluntary Code of Practice for General-Purpose AI. Through a LinkedIn statement, Kaplan cited legal uncertainties and measures exceeding Europe's main AI law as reasons for rejection. The code includes nonbinding guidelines covering AI transparency, copyright, and security requirements for AI developers.
📖 Prophetic Significance
Meta's resistance against centralized AI control illuminates the prophesied tension between commercial digital powers and regulatory authorities (Rev 13). The specific rejection of 'transparency' requirements by a platform with billions of users demonstrates how modern AI systems could enable deception at unprecedented scale (2 Thess 2:9-10). Kaplan's emphasis on legal uncertainties reveals the growing complexity of controlling advanced AI - a technological capability that could facilitate the false signs and wonders warned about in Matthew 24:24. This event shows how AI governance struggles mirror the prophesied conflicts between commercial and political powers in the end times.
