Meta, TikTok take EU to court over online content rulebook
Social media giants Meta and TikTok are suing the European Union over a levy that bankrolls the enforcement of Europe’s content moderation law, the Digital Services Act.
Meta alone said it is required to pay €11 million for 2024. TikTok declined to say how much it is paying. The EU’s decision that shows the costs per company is not public.
Under the content moderation law, very large online platforms and search engines have to split the costs of enforcement based on user numbers, paying a maximum contribution of 0.05 percent of their yearly profit each year to the Commission.
