The Spin
Narrative A
The DSA was created to ensure that platforms like Facebook and Instagram do enough to moderate content and prevent misuse. Meta must be proactive in upholding their legal responsibilities to protect Europe's democratic institutions, or else the EC will continue to crackdown on Big Tech's failure to comply.
Narrative B
Meta has long been transparent about its policies, processes, and enforcement. The company is committed to complying with the rules of the DSA, and has updated its transparency measures and some user features in order to meet with EU regulatory obligations. Holding a shared vision with the EC, Meta will continue to minimize the potential for online harm while protecting Europe from those who wish to undermine its democratic functions.
