The European Union will reportedly open a new investigation into Meta over election policies

The European Union is getting ready to launch a new investigation into Meta over its handling of election-related content.

Details of the investigation could be announced “later this week,” but European officials are reportedly concerned about “deceptive advertising and political content.” According to the Financial Times, the EU has also raised concerns about Russia’s “efforts to undermine upcoming European elections” and other foreign interference campaigns. That investigation, which could last up to a year, will look into whether the social media company has violated Europe’s Digital Markets Act, by not offering users a “real alternative” to opt out of data collection.
