The European Union has dismissed accusations of censorship from Meta, following the company’s recent decision to end its fact-checking program in the U.S. and implement a community-based approach. EU spokesperson Paula Pinho emphasized the bloc’s commitment to regulation and compliance with the Digital Services Act. Ireland’s media regulator clarified that the changes apply only in the U.S. Experts suggest that the impact of Meta’s new policy on EU users may take time to materialize.
