\u201cWe disagree with any suggestion that we have breached the DSA, and we continue to negotiate\u201d with the Commission on these issues, Meta spokesperson Ben Walters said. Meta has \u201cintroduced 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,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
TikTok spokesperson Paolo Ganino said the firm was “reviewing the European Commission’s findings, but requirements to ease data safeguards place the DSA and [General Data Protection Regulation] in direct tension. If it is not possible to fully comply with both, we urge regulators to provide clarity on how these obligations should be reconciled.” <\/p>\n
Ganino added it had “made substantial investments in data sharing and almost 1,000 research teams have been given access to data through our Research Tools to date.”<\/p>\n
The moves are part of ongoing efforts to enforce the bloc\u2019s digital rules. Meta is the second American platform to be accused of breaking the rules: Elon Musk’s X was accused of doing so more than a year ago,<\/a> in July 2024. China\u2019s Temu and AliExpress have also been accused of breaches.<\/p>\n The EU executive opened<\/a> its investigation into Meta in April last year and expanded it in May.<\/p>\n
