EC Finds Meta and TikTok Non-Compliant with DSA Transparency Rules
The European Commission (EC) has announced preliminary findings indicating that TikTok and Meta Platforms have failed to provide researchers with adequate access to public data as required by the Digital Services Act (DSA).
The EC has also accused Meta of failing to provide users with straightforward mechanisms to report illegal content and challenge content moderation decisions.
About the Digital Services Act
The DSA complements the EC's Digital Markets Act, focusing on content moderation, user privacy, and transparency. A key transparency requirement under the DSA is ensuring researchers have access to platform data.
Key Provisions of the DSA
- Grants European Union users the right to challenge content moderation decisions, such as content removal or account suspension.
- Requires platforms to provide transparent and accessible data to researchers.
