TSX gains after CPI shows US inflation rose 3%
Investing.com -- The European Union has charged Meta Platforms over its systems for handling illegal content on Facebook and Instagram, marking the first such allegation against a social-media platform under the bloc’s flagship online-content rules.
On Friday, the European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, stated that Meta fails to provide users with a simple way to flag illegal content. The Commission also accused the company of not offering adequate tools for users to appeal content-moderation decisions when their posts are removed or accounts are suspended.
These charges could potentially create tension with the Trump administration, which has previously expressed concerns that EU digital regulations unfairly target American companies and that the bloc is attempting to censor Americans.
Meta’s stock showed a slight increase of 0.08% following the news.
