💨 Abstract

The European Commission has refuted Mark Zuckerberg's claims that EU data laws censor social media, stating that they only require large platforms to remove illegal content. Meta Platforms, which owns Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, has scrapped its U.S. fact-checking programs and plans to replace them with a "community notes" system. However, the EU requires platforms using such systems to conduct a risk assessment and submit it to the commission.
