Meta and TikTok challenge EU supervisory fee in court over ‘Unfair’ calculation: All details

Meta Platforms and TikTok have taken legal action against the European Commission, arguing that a supervisory fee imposed under the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA) is disproportionate and based on flawed calculations. The challenge was heard on Wednesday by the General Court, Europe’s second-highest judicial body.

The fee, introduced as part of the DSA which came into effect in 2022, applies to 19 major online platforms, including Meta and TikTok. It is calculated at 0.05 per cent of a company’s global net income and is intended to fund the European Commission’s oversight of compliance with the legislation.
