Ireland’s Media Regulator, Coimisiún Na Meán, has announced investigations into Tiktok and LinkedIn for possible violations of the European Union’s Digital Media Services, Rabae REPORT. Investigations are focused on illegal parts of the outbreak on illegal platforms, which may not meet the requirements of the DSA.

The main issue appears to be how these platforms’ reporting tools are presented and implemented. Regulators are aware of possible “deceptive interface designs” in the content reporting features they review, which may be less effective on illegal content. “Reporting mechanisms confuse or mislead people into believing they are reporting content as illegal content on the provider’s terms and conditions,” the regulator wrote. a news release announcing its investigation.

“At the core of the DSA is the right of people to report content they suspect is illegal, and reporting providers, reporting providers, reporting providers reporting and reporting reporting providers,” DSA Commissioner John Evans said in a DSA release. “Providers are also obliged not to design, organize or operate their interfaces in a way that misleads or manipulates people into making informed decisions.”

The Evans intends that the Coimisiún na Meán has already got other providers to make “significant changes in their reporting mechanisms for illegal financial penalties. Many Tech companies are headquartered in Ireland, and if a platform provider is found to have violated the DSA, the Irish regulators can make them up to six percent of their income.

The Irish Data Protection Commission is in place conducted a separate investigation to the social media platform X for allegedly training the Grok Ai Assistant in posts from users. Doing so would violate the general data protection regulation or GDR, and allow Ireland to take a four percent cut of the company’s global revenue.
