On October 24 (local time), the European Commission made a preliminary ruling that Meta has contravened the EU's Digital Services Act. Should these breaches remain unaddressed, the tech giant could be slapped with a fine of up to 6% of its global annual revenue. The Commission highlighted that the platform has not granted researchers sufficient access to data, and its overly complex procedural framework has led to subpar research data. Furthermore, Meta's Facebook and Instagram platforms are devoid of user-friendly mechanisms for reporting illicit content, and the channels for user complaints are ineffective. Meta has refuted these allegations, asserting that it has made adjustments to pertinent options, processes, and tools in compliance with the new regulations.
