EU starts investigating Meta, TikTok over Hamas content

After X, Meta's Facebook and Instagram as well as TikTok are under close scrutiny over potentially breaching the European Union's content moderation law, the Digital Services Act (DSA), for content related to the Israel-Hamas conflict.

The European Commission on Thursday sent formal requests for information letters to Meta and TikTok, giving the platform firms until October 25 to provide information about measures they've taken to curb the spread of illegal content and disinformation on their popular platforms in the wake of Hamas' attack in Israel and the war that started since.
