Companies that fail to comply with the EU’s Digital Services Act could face fines as high as 6 per cent annual revenue or even be banned from the bloc.
European Commissioner Thierry Breton warned some of Silicon Valley’s top social media players that Europe requires them to take prompt action to stop the spread of disinformation aboutBreton told Meta Platforms chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg that following the terrorist attacks, some platforms were responsible for a surge of illegal content in the European Union.
Companies that fail to comply could face fines as high as 6 per cent annual revenue or even be banned from the bloc if they repeatedly break the rules.Breton also asked Zuckerberg to inform the commission about the measures the company has taken to decrease deepfakes, given a number of elections coming up in Europe.Breton’s letter to Zuckerberg — later posted on X — was less aggressive than his note to Musk, which triggered a flurry of comments by the world’s richest man.
Musk and Breton have developed a rapport over the past year, in part through their shared affection for semiconductors and satellites. Before Musk purchased Twitter, Breton flew to Texas and got Musk to film an awkward video saying he agreed with the EU’s ideas about content moderation.
