EU Cracks Down on Misleading Political Advertising on Meta Platforms Ahead of Elections

Brussels | European Union (EU) notice on misleading political advertising during elections. The European Commission’s intervention relates to Meta’s handling of political advertising on its Facebook and Instagram platforms.

The action is ahead of the elections to be held in June. The notice comes amid accusations that Russia is trying to influence public opinion and undermine democracy in order to influence European elections. The commission’s intervention was based on concerns that META’s monitoring of social media platforms in relation to election advertising was insufficient.
