YouTube, Platforms Not Cooperating Enough on EU Content Disputes: Report
Appeals Center Europe reports YouTube provided no content in 343 disputes and platforms delayed cooperation, with nearly 10,000 cases filed under the Digital Services Act.
- On 01/10/2025, Dublin-based Appeals Centre Europe said platforms, especially YouTube, are not cooperating and deny users access to out-of-court settlement.
- The Digital Services Act mandates platforms to protect EU citizens and enable users to challenge content removals via an out-of-court mechanism, while ACE seeks data on deleted content and suspended accounts to resolve disputes.
- The center received nearly 10,000 disputes and could only decide 29 of 343 eligible YouTube cases, citing no content in many instances, ACE said.
- Allies of US President Donald Trump accuse the DSA of foreign censorship, but the European Union rejects these claims while defending the dispute-settlement mechanism.
- Panel leader Thomas Hughes said `In some cases, we've succeeded despite platforms, not because of them`, while probes target Meta's Facebook and Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, Meta-owned Threads and X.
