TikTok and Meta have been formally told to provide the EU with information about the possible spread of disinformation on their platforms relating to the Israel-Gaza conflict.
Previously they were given 24 hours to provide answers to the bloc’s concerns.
But that request did not carry legal force, whereas this latest demand does.

The EU is concerned about the possible spread of terrorist and violent content, and hate speech, after Hamas’ attack on Israel.
“We’ll publish our first transparency report under the [new law] next week, where we’ll include more information about our ongoing work to keep our European community safe,” a TikTok spokesperson said.
A Meta spokesperson said: “Our teams are working around the clock to keep our platforms safe, take action on content that violates our policies or local law, and coordinate with third-party fact checkers in the region to limit the spread of misinformation. We’re happy to provide further details of this work, beyond what we have already shared, and will respond to the European Commission.”
The EU’s latest demand comes a week after it contacted X, formerly known as Twitter, over the same concerns.
X said at the time it had removed hundreds of Hamas-affiliated accounts from the platform.
