The European Commission, the executive arm of the European Union, said on Friday that it has preliminarily found both TikTok and Meta to have breached transparency rules.

The commission said both tech giants breached “their obligations under the Digital Services Act (DSA) to provide researchers with adequate access to public data”.

“The Commission prima facie found that Meta, for both Instagram and Facebook, breached its obligations to provide users with an easy mechanism to report illegal content as well as to allow them to effectively challenge content control decisions,” it said in a statement.
