Meta Platforms is set to face a charge sheet from the European Union for failing to adequately police illegal content, risking fines for violating the bloc’s content moderation rulebook, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday.
The European Commission is preparing to issue preliminary findings saying that Meta’s Facebook and Instagram lack an adequate mechanism that would let users flag illegal posts for removal, the report said, citing two people familiar with the plans.
The charge sheet is expected in the coming weeks, the report added.
