The European Commission has found that TikTok and Meta (Facebook & Instagram) breached the EU’s Digital Services Act.
Key issues are:
– Limited data access for researchers
– Complex reporting of illegal content
– Barriers to appealing moderation decisions
If confirmed, both companies could face fines up to 6% of their global turnover.
This action aims to protect citizens, children, and democracy online.
