The European Commission on Tuesday said Meta Platforms had taken measures to mitigate the spread of disinformation in the run-up to the EU elections.
"Meta has now deployed new functionalities .. 27 new
real-time visual dashboards, one for each member state, to allow third-party
real-time civic discourse and election monitoring," a spokesperson for the
commission said.
The European Commission last month opened an investigation
into suspected breaches of EU online content rules against Meta, as it said its
Facebook and Instagram platforms had failed to tackle disinformation and
deceptive advertising.
The commission said it would monitor the roll out of the new
features as the formal procedures against Meta were ongoing.
