Facebook and Instagram Face EU Probes in Content Crackdown

Facebook and Instagram will get European Union investigations into potential infringements of content-moderation rules as soon as today (April 29), four people told POLITICO.

The probes are likely to target a range of issues including Meta's handling of ads, especially political ads, to examine suspected breaches of the Digital Services Act (DSA), said the people who were granted anonymity to discuss a confidential procedure.

Hundreds of millions of Europeans will go to the polls on June 6-9 to elect new Parliament representatives, who will set the bloc’s agenda for the next five years. EU governments are worried about a surge in Russian meddling that could sway voters’ opinions. A French minister even warned that the country was "overwhelmed with propaganda."
