The European Commission is probing how social media platforms like YouTube, Snapchat, and TikTok recommend content, assessing algorithmic impacts on democracy, mental health, and children.
By evaluating these platforms' algorithms, the Commission aims to understand their role in amplifying risks, particularly regarding illegal content and societal concerns.
The authority's focus includes the promotion of drugs and hate speech, thereby scrutinizing the measures platforms take to mitigate harmful content.
Social media companies have a deadline until November 15 to disclose the parameters of their recommendation systems, marking an important regulatory step.
