The EU formally requested that Meta details steps for transparency after it scrapped CrowdTangle, a tool vital for tracking disinformation, leaving researchers concerned.
Meta's decision to shut down CrowdTangle has drawn criticism globally as researchers argue its replacement, the Content Library, lacks essential functionalities needed for effective disinformation tracking.
Brussels has raised alarms particularly regarding CrowdTangle's removal without a sufficient alternative, questioning Meta's commitment to combating misinformation as election events approach.
The European Commission's request demands details on the Content Library's functionalities and how it will ensure researchers have adequate access to monitor election-related disinformation.
