Meta's decision to replace traditional fact-checking with community ratings for content moderation raises significant questions in the EU, as it does not align with EU regulations.
Thomas Regnier from the European Commission highlighted that while platforms can choose their content moderation strategies, they must ensure effectiveness in any model, including reliance on community ratings.
J. Scott Marcus mentioned that although the formal infringement procedures can be slow, the EU holds other extreme measures that can be enacted swiftly in serious situations.
The Digital Services Act mandates heavy fines for companies that fail to comply with content moderation regulations, with potential penalties reaching up to 6% of their global turnover.
