flag EU demands tech giants explain anti-scam measures under Digital Services Act.

flag The European Union has requested information from Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Booking under the Digital Services Act, asking how they prevent their platforms from being used in online financial scams, such as fake apps and fraudulent websites. flag The inquiry, part of broader EU enforcement efforts, aims to ensure tech companies take responsibility for illegal activities on their services, with no immediate penalties expected but potential investigations or fines if safeguards are deemed inadequate. flag The EU stresses that online illegal behavior must be addressed like real-world crimes and maintains its rules apply equally to U.S. and non-U.S. companies, including Chinese platforms. flag The move follows ongoing probes into Meta, TikTok, and X, with the EU reaffirming its commitment to digital safety and fair competition despite criticism from some U.S. officials and tech executives who claim the regulations amount to censorship.
