The European regulators' increased scrutiny over tech companies like Meta highlights a shift in power dynamics, which could lead to significant repercussions for operational strategies within Big Tech.
Meta’s decision to withdraw CrowdTangle, crucial for monitoring content on social media, raises concerns about access, transparency, and the potential for misinformation, especially ahead of elections.
The Digital Services Act (DSA) obligates platforms to grant certain data access, and Meta’s compliance is now under European Commission investigation, potentially impacting its operations.
There is ambiguity regarding the implications of Meta's decision; if it fails to comply with alternatives to CrowdTangle, European authorities could enforce stricter access to functionality for users.
