Social media giants Meta and X (formerly Twitter) approved ads targeting users in Germany with violent anti-Muslim and anti-Jew hate speech in the run-up to the country’s federal elections.
Most of the test ads were approved within hours of being submitted for review in mid-February .
X approved all ten of the hate speech ads its researchers submitted just days before the federal election is due to take place, while Meta approved half ( five ads) for running on Facebook.
Eko has submitted its findings to the European Commission , which oversees enforcement of key aspects of the DSA on social media giants Meta and X.
The EU already has open DSA investigations into both platforms, which include concerns about election security and illegal content, but the Commission has yet to conclude these proceedings.
Confirmed breaches of DSA can attract penalties of up to 6% of global annual turnover.
