The EU has rejected claims by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg that it is engaged with censorship. This follows Tuesday's shock announcement that the company would no longer use independent fact checkers in the US. The social media platform said its decision was to promote free speech as there was too much content being censored, even accidentally. Meta is studying how this decision will fare under EU law. EU digital rules stipulate that risk analysis must be carried out before major platforms carry out such a change.
