The European Commission has launched a disinformation probe against social media giant Meta.

The EU announced the investigation into the operator of Facebook and Instagram on Tuesday, saying suspects the US company of breaching the bloc’s online content rules. Brussels has raised its efforts to clamp down on disinformation ahead of EU elections in June.

The commission said Meta’s efforts at moderating content are “insufficient” and fail to tackle deceptive advertising and disinformation.
