The European Union has initiated a new investigation into Meta Platforms Inc. over concerns related to election misinformation on its platforms, Facebook and Instagram, ahead of the June polls. The investigation, announced by EU officials, focuses on Meta's alleged insufficient online moderation, transparency in advertising, and content moderation. Specific issues cited include inadequate ad moderation that could be exploited for foreign interference and scams, insufficient data access for election monitoring, and non-compliance with tools for flagging illegal content. Meta could face significant fines if found in violation of the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA), particularly with the upcoming European elections. The EU's actions underscore heightened scrutiny to protect the integrity of elections from digital threats such as disinformation, particularly concerning potential Russian interference.
