The European Commission has found Meta and TikTok in violation of EU online platform rules under the Digital Services Act (DSA). For Meta, the issue centers on users' difficulty in filing complaints about illegal content on Facebook and Instagram; the company did not provide adequate help or feedback for such reports. The investigation into Meta began in April 2024 and also covers deceptive advertising and political content. TikTok is under scrutiny for failing to provide researchers with sufficient access to public data, as required by the DSA. Both companies have time to respond before potential penalties of up to 6% of their global annual turnover could be imposed. The Commission has initiated a total of 14 proceedings related to possible breaches of the DSA since last year.
