Meta, TikTok and X challenge UK online safety watchdog
Original: instagram
Meta, TikTok and X have launched a legal challenge against the UK's online safety regulator over its demands for user data, Reuters reports. The platforms are contesting the scope of information requests issued under the UK's Online Safety Act, which requires companies to share data to assess risks such as illegal content and harm to children. The dispute tests how far the regulator can go in compelling global platforms to hand over information, and the outcome could shape enforcement of the UK's online safety regime.
Why now: The legal challenge raises questions about the limits of UK regulators' power over major social media platforms under the new Online Safety Act.
