In addition to Facebook parent company Meta, Chinese-owned social media app TikTok has also been given a deadline of Oct. 25 for sharing information on their response to the Israel-Hamas war that has been accompanied by misinformation in the digital sphere.

Both requests are being made under the Digital Services Act, according to the European Commission.

The committee requested Meta to provide more information “on the measures it has taken to comply with obligations relating to risk assessments and mitigation measures to protect the integrity of elections” and following Hamas’ terrorist attacks across Israel, particularly regarding disinformation and dissemination of illegal content.”

Also, TikTok was asked to provide information about its “risk assessments and mitigation measures against the spread of illegal content, including terrorist and violent content and hate speech.”

Elon Musk’s X social media platform, formerly known as Twitter, received similar requests last week.

In response to a RFI [request for information], TikTok has just heard from the European Commission.

We will publish our first transparency report under the DSA next week, which will include more details about our ongoing efforts to keep our European community safe.

When contacted by , Meta was not immediately available for comment.

In order to keep misinformation about the war off their platforms, Meta and TikTok are being investigated by the EU. Along with Facebook and Instagram, Meta also owns WhatsApp, Oculus, and WhatsApp Messenger.

In particular, the EU wants to know how Meta and TikTok are complying with their obligations under the Digital Services Act, or DSA. It is a landmark law introduced by the EU that aims to rid internet giants of illegal and harmful content on their platforms.
