What happened
The European Commission is expanding its enforcement of the Digital Services Act (DSA), which came into force in 2023. The DSA requires the largest online platforms operating in the European Union to submit biannual reports detailing their efforts to combat disinformation. These platforms include Meta, Google, TikTok, and more than two dozen others.
Why it matters
The DSA allows for penalties of up to 6% of annual revenue or permanent bans on very large online platforms across the EU for hosting content deemed disinformation. While adherence to the Code of Conduct is described as voluntary, noncompliance subjects companies to these fines under the DSA.
