Tech Giants Face New European Union Rules
  • 8 months ago
The European Union's Digital Services Act will impose new regulations on major tech companies regarding content moderation, user privacy, and transparency. Companies like Facebook, Instagram, Apple, and Google must prevent harmful content, restrict user-targeting practices, and share internal data with regulators. The DSA currently applies to the largest platforms but will soon extend to all platforms, and breaching it can result in fines and potential bans. A nonprofit research organization found that Facebook still approved online ads containing harmful content, raising concerns about their readiness for the DSA.
