Digital Services Act

The Commission's first formal DSA investigations, opened in 2024, targeted Meta's Facebook and Instagram, TikTok and X over suspected compliance failures. On 29 April 2026 that produced a concrete finding: Meta breached the Act's child-safety obligations, the clearest enforcement result the DSA track has produced against any of the three platforms so FAR.

The finding arrived a day after the Commission separately said the DMA remained "fit" while it turned its attention to cloud enforcement, underlining that DSA and DMA proceedings against the same platforms now run on overlapping tracks rather than sequentially, each with its own penalty ceiling and evidentiary standard.

The Commission's AI content-marking signatory list, published 31 July 2026, drew roughly 190 organisations, 82 as providers and 152 as deployers, including Synthesia, Getty Images, Google, Meta and Microsoft. No broadcaster, streamer or studio signed the voluntary code, despite being among the platforms most exposed to synthetic content passing through their output.

The related transparency obligation became binding two days later, leaving European broadcasters carrying the evidentiary burden themselves rather than relying on a voluntary code, a gap that sits inside the platform-transparency territory the DSA's own enforcement apparatus already covers for the platforms that did sign.
