Weird this is again making the rounds after the news is 2 years old.

Looks like they delayed the shutdown, but then announced last month that they're going to do it finally.

From the article that you linked...

Today’s report says Meta began an official process to shut down the tool in February but paused it due to the EU’s Digital Services Act push.
