The chief enforcer of new European Union content-moderation rules for Big Tech fired a warning shot at Meta Platforms Inc.’s Facebook as he named 19 online platforms and search engines earmarked for the closest scrutiny.
Meta’s Instagram as well as Twitter Inc., Apple Inc.’s App Store, Alphabet Inc.’s YouTube and Google Search and ByteDance Ltd.’s TikTok, were also among the list of “very large online platforms” required to meet the additional requirements under the bloc’s new Digital Services Act, Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton said Tuesday.
