The European Commission announced on Thursday 27 October that it had not yet started an official investigation into Meta, TikTok, and X's efforts to remove harmful content from their platforms. The European Commission confirmed that it has so far only sent information requests to these companies.

"No new developments. The Commission sent an official request for information to X, Meta, and TikTok. This should not be misinterpreted by the launch of the process," a Commission spokesman said.

Previously, EU industry chief Thierry Breton said in an interview with France Inter's radio station that he had started an investigation into three technology platforms, including X.

A TikTok spokesperson confirmed on Thursday that they received a request for information (RFI) last week and said the company fully intended to respond.

These tech giants have faced increased scrutiny in recent weeks, with a surge in malicious content and disinformation following Hamas' attack on Israel.

In the framework of the broad Digital Services Act in the European Union, very large technology platforms and search engines should do more to deal with illegal content and risks to public security, as well as protect their services from manipulative techniques.
