EU Tells Meta, TikTok to Boost Monitoring After Ceuta Surge

The European Union's tech chief called on Meta and TikTok to 'act decisively' to stem disinformation at times of crisis, saying the European Commission held talks with both platforms Friday following last week's Ceuta migrant surge, according to The Local Italy.

The demand comes as a bitter dispute between Spain and Italy over migration policy has escalated into reciprocal border checks, exposing the fragility of Europe's free-travel area, as Politico Europe reported.

The EU's intervention highlights how the Ceuta crisis has become a test case for the bloc's ability to manage both migration flows and the information wars that accompany them.
