The French foreign ministry voiced concern on Wednesday over Meta's decision to halt US fact-checking operations for its Facebook and Instagram platforms, emphasizing the importance of European laws regarding freedom of expression and the need for platforms to respect their obligations under the Digital Services Act (DSA).
The French foreign ministry voiced “concern” Wednesday over Meta ’s decision to halt US fact-checking operations for its Facebook and Instagram platforms, saying it would be “vigilant” over the group’s respect of European laws.
He said the DSA, a sweeping law that came into force in March 2024, is “an integral part of the EU’s good democratic functioning, and for protecting citizens from foreign meddling and manipulation of information”. A French minister said earlier Wednesday that Meta is also studying how halting fact checking on its platforms would fare under EU law.
