Apple, however, did not respond to these allegations. Another rule is the DSA or the Digital Services Act in which any platform that has more than 45 million active users is forced to regulate its content and to enforce strict fact checking and illegal content and intentional manipulation rules that can be used to influence the elections among many other requirements. If they do not so, they will have to face heavy fines. Facebook has been criticized for quite a while for not adhering to the strict guideline imposed by the EU in terms of making sure there is no tampering of data and intentional manipulation.

Facebook welcomed these rules and regulations surprisingly and seemed to be more than okay with them saying that they are happy to preserve what is good about the internet and would love to work with the EU to preserve it. They have called for the regulation of content as soon as possible.
