The European Commission has expressed its concerns after Facebook repeatedly withheld key data on its efforts to clamp down on disinformation ahead of the European Parliamentary elections. An upcoming EC report details that the social media giant has employed “fact checkers” tasked with scrutinising information shared on the site in only eight of the twenty-eight member states.
