The EU said it would like Meta and TikTok to hand over information on how they’re tackling misinformation about the Israel-Hamas war.
The European Commission said in a press update Thursday that it would like Meta and TikTok to hand over information on how they're tackling misinformation about the Israel-Hamas war.
If a company is found to be in breach of the EU's DSA, they could be on the hook for fines as large as 6% of a companies' total annual revenues.and Chinese-owned social media app TikTok have both been given a deadline of Oct. 25 by the European Commission to share information on their response to the Israel-Hamas war, which has seen misinformation in the digital sphere spread alongside the physical conflict.
In particular, the EU is asking to see the measures that Meta and TikTok have taken to comply with their obligations under the Digital Services Act, or DSA. The DSA is a landmark piece of legislation introduced by the EU which seeks to ensure internet giants rid their platforms of illegal and harmful content.
"In case of failure to reply by Meta , the Commission may decide to request the information by decision," the commission said."In this case, failure to reply by the deadline could lead to the imposition of periodic penalty payments." Facebook says it has taken steps to limit the spread of disinformation during the Israel-Hamas conflict. In a blogpost this week, the company said that, in the three days following Oct. 7, it removed or marked as disturbing more than 795,000 pieces of content in Hebrew and Arabic for violating its policies.
