Proceedings opened against Facebook + Instagram on potential DSA infringements ia. on deceptive advertising and ineffective flagging mechanisms and monitoring tools. Meta asked to communicate remedial actions also in view of upcoming elections 👇 https://t.co/LYwSqa6ga2

👀 On top of the Meta probe over Russian disinfo, the European Commission today released secure tools for tech whistleblowers to leak information about potential infringements of the Digital Services and Markets Acts.

Six EU countries are facing legal action from the EU Commission over inadequate enforcement of the Digital Services Act (DSA).

Poland, Slovakia, Estonia: no DSA watchdogs
Cyprus, Czechia, Portugal: no relevant powers (regulators can't fine companies)

Great morning at @MicrosoftEU’s #ECA24 event and great to bump into @carmeartigas after a while.

Very interesting conversations on a crucial topic: ensuring #AI governance is aligned globally, rather than fragmented.

To uphold our 🇪🇺 values, we need successful European companies creating value.

[Clothilde Goujard @clothildegouj]

Sounds similar to what @aiforensics_org said, finding that 65% of political ads were running unlabeled on Facebook in over 16 EU countries "in just a few days and with just a fraction of the data available to Meta."

#TikTokLite allows users to earn points through e.g. watching videos, liking, following, inviting #friends to join, etc.

We are concerned it has been launched w/o prior assessment of the risks of addiction on #children & opened 2nd formal proceedings against #TikTok under #DSA.

🚨We suspect #TikTokLite feature to be toxic & addictive, in particular for children.

Unless TikTok provides compelling proof of safety —which it failed to do until now—we stand ready to trigger #DSA interim measures including the #suspension of the TikTokLite "reward programme"

@Spotify thinks it is not enough & wants @vestager to open a non-compliance case.

I got my hands on an early version of the Commission's recommendation on submarine cables. For the few who, like me, are passionate about the geopolitics of subsea cables, the initiative is particularly interesting as the EU is about to shoot itself in the foot. A 🧵1/12
