#EU #DSA #SocialMedia #Google #Meta #Disinformation: "As a deadline for compliance with the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA) passed on Friday, Free Press found that the major platforms’ policies have yet to fully align with the law’s requirements, potentially exposing companies like Google and Meta to tens of billions of dollars in EU fines.
The DSA, adopted in 2022, requires greater transparency and accountability from major platform companies including Google, Meta, TikTok and Twitter (X). Under the DSA, platforms must act “expeditiously” to stop the spread of harmful content; give users information about how ads are targeting them; and offer users clear instructions on how to opt out of such targeting. Platforms must also stop placing targeted ads that rely on sensitive personal data, including a user’s sexual preferences, health information, political beliefs and religion; and be more transparent about their operations — sharing algorithmic information with researchers and disclosing their content-moderation practices in annual reports.
A platform company that fails to comply with these DSA requirements by the EU’s Aug. 25 deadline could be fined up to six percent of its annual global revenue — with repeat offenders facing the prospect of a complete ban from operating in Europe."
