The EU Commission is expressing concerns over Meta's abrupt discontinuation of CrowdTangle, an essential tool for researchers, especially with 2024 elections approaching.
Now that CrowdTangle has been shut down, the European Commission is reiterating Meta's obligation under the Digital Services Act to provide researchers access to relevant public data.
The Commission has formally requested more details regarding Meta's compliance with the Digital Services Act, particularly concerning data access for researchers in the wake of CrowdTangle's closure.
Meta's Content Library, while suggested as a replacement for CrowdTangle, lacks many functionalities deemed crucial by researchers, raising questions about its effectiveness.
