Meta Implements Real-Time Dashboards to Combat Disinformation Ahead of EU Elections
The European Commission announced on Tuesday that Meta Platforms has introduced measures to combat disinformation ahead of the EU elections. Meta has launched 27 real-time visual dashboards, one for each EU member state, to enable third-party monitoring of civic discourse and election activities.
This development follows the European Commission’s investigation last month into Meta for allegedly breaching EU online content regulations. The investigation raised concerns about Meta’s Facebook and Instagram platforms’ inadequate responses to disinformation and deceptive advertising.
While formal procedures against Meta continue, the European Commission stated that it would closely monitor the implementation of these new features to ensure their effectiveness in curbing disinformation.
