European Commission Finds Meta and TikTok in Breach of DSA Transparency Rules

The European Commission has preliminarily found that Meta and TikTok are not complying with the Digital Services Act (DSA) rules requiring them to provide researchers with adequate access to public data.

An investigation by EU regulators found that both companies are in breach of the Union's rules concerning illegal or harmful online content.

The Commission called Meta and TikTok's procedures and tools for requesting access to public data "burdensome,"

resulting in researchers often receiving partial or unreliable data, which affects their ability to conduct research, including whether users, including minors, are exposed to illegal or harmful content.

Author's summary: Meta and TikTok breached DSA transparency rules.
