MLex Summary: Meta Platforms Ireland and TikTok Technology are facing appeals by the European Commission that it used the wrong legal instrument to set supervisory fees for the bloc’s content moderation law, two documents in the Official Journal of the European Union showed. Meta and ByteDance’s TikTok won their cases in September when the EU’s General Court annulled a key provision for enforcing the Digital Services Act, saying the commission should have used a delegated act rather than an implementing act.
