Social media companies Instagram, Facebook and TikTok needn't pay fees imposed to pay for supervisory costs under the Digital Services Act (DSA), the EU’s General Court ruled on Wednesday, until the European Commission changes its procedure for levying the charges.
The platforms challenged the practice under the DSA, which entered into force in 2023, where the Commission charges annual contributions to providers of the largest online internet platforms to cover their oversight, administrative and human resource costs for supervision and enforcement activities.
