Brussels, Belgium: The EU accused Meta and TikTok on Friday of breaking the bloc's digital content rules, putting the companies at risk of hefty fines.
The European Commission said in its preliminary view that both social media firms are failing to grant researchers "adequate access to public data" in violation of the Digital Services Act, the EU's mammoth content law.
It also accused Meta's platforms Facebook and Instagram of not providing user-friendly mechanisms to flag illegal content, and not providing effective systems for their users to challenge content-moderation decisions.
