"The EC also said it preliminarily found that both Meta and TikTok violated their DSA obligation to grant researchers adequate access to public data. "The Commission's preliminary findings show that Facebook, Instagram and TikTok may have put in place burdensome procedures and tools for researchers to request access to public data. This often leaves them with partial or unreliable data, impacting their ability to conduct research, such as whether users, including minors, are exposed to illegal or harmful content," the announcement said."
"Meta told media outlets that "we disagree with any suggestion that we have breached the DSA, and we continue to negotiate with the European Commission on these matters." Meta also said it made changes to comply with the DSA. "In the European Union, we have introduced changes to our content reporting options, appeals process, and data access tools since the DSA came into force and are confident that these solutions match what is required under the law in the EU," Meta said."
FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson warned that censoring Americans to comply with foreign laws may violate US law and said the EU Digital Services Act can incentivize worldwide censorship. Meta disputed any breach of the DSA, said it is negotiating with the European Commission, and reported changes to content reporting, appeals, and data access tools in the EU. The European Commission preliminarily found that Meta and TikTok may have imposed burdensome procedures that limit researcher access to public data, producing partial or unreliable datasets and hampering research on exposure to illegal or harmful content. TikTok says it has shared data with many researchers and is reviewing the findings, noting potential conflicts between DSA requirements and GDPR.
