The European Commission has preliminarily found that Meta and TikTok violated the EU’s Digital Services Act by failing to provide researchers with adequate access to public data. The findings also accuse Meta’s Facebook and Instagram of using deceptive interface designs that make reporting harmful content difficult, while TikTok allegedly restricted transparency into its impact on mental health. Both companies deny wrongdoing, but if confirmed, the violations could result in fines of up to 6% of their annual global revenue.The European Commission has preliminarily found that Meta and TikTok violated the EU’s Digital Services Act by failing to provide researchers with adequate access to public data.

In an official press release published on Friday, October 24, 2025, the European Commission preliminarily found both TikTok and U.S. Tech Giant Meta in breach of their obligation to grant researchers adequate access to public data under the Digital Services Act (DSA).

The Commission’s preliminary findings also stated that Meta’s Facebook and Instagram did not appear to offer “user-friendly and easily accessible” systems for reporting illegal content, including child sexual abuse material or terrorist propaganda. Both platforms allegedly employ “deceptive interface designs” and burdensome processes that could discourage users from flagging harmful content.

TikTok was also found to have restricted researcher access in ways that may hinder public scrutiny of how the platform affects physical and mental health.

Meta told Reuters it disagreed with the findings, citing improvements to its content-reporting and data-access tools since the DSA took effect. TikTok said it is reviewing the decision, noting that easing data safeguards may conflict with EU privacy law (GDPR).

If confirmed, the violations could result in fines of up to 6% of each company’s annual global turnover, according to the Commission.

Coinbase Issues Cryptocurrency Call to US Justice Department: “Solve Urgent Problems!”

Coinbase Issues Cryptocurrency Call to US Justice Department: “Solve Urgent Problems!”

The post Coinbase Issues Cryptocurrency Call to US Justice Department: “Solve Urgent Problems!” appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States, stated that there should be uniform cryptocurrency regulation in the country. At this point, Coinbase sent a letter to the US Department of Justice requesting that federal regulators prevent state regulations from conflicting with national crypto policies and ensure uniform regulatory clarity. Coinbase’s request comes after the state of Oregon filed a lawsuit against Coinbase for unregistered securities, despite the SEC withdrawing its lawsuit against the cryptocurrency exchange. Coinbase states that although the country’s top regulator, the SEC, withdrew its lawsuit, states are filing lawsuits in defiance of the SEC’s decision. In the letter, addressed by Coinbase Legal Counsel Paul Grewal, he stated: “Despite the Trump administration’s positive regulatory efforts, crypto companies are being negatively impacted by states’ flawed interpretations of securities laws and their divergent actions. If Oregon can sue us for services that are legal under federal law, we have a problem. It has long been clear that the current patchwork of state laws is not only inefficient, but also slows innovation and harms consumers. At this point, the Justice Department should take steps to address the pressing issues by calling on Congress to step in and enact comprehensive and uniform regulations.” Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield filed a lawsuit against Coinbase last April, alleging that Coinbase was promoting the sale of unregistered cryptocurrencies to individuals in Oregon. *This is not investment advice.
