WhatsApp faces stricter European bases in the face with an increase in the number of users

WhatsApp The average number of users with WhatsApp channels, which belong to news stores or public figures that can be compared under the Digital Services Act, reached about 46.8 million users in the second half of 2024, according to the “Mita” explained in the deposit file on February 14, which is the first time this number is reported. “WhatsApp has published a number of users who exceed the minimum classification as a very large platform via the Internet under the Digital Services Act,” European Commission spokeswoman Thomas Regener said in a statement sent via e -mail on Tuesday. European investigation into social media, the UNHCR, is the executive arm of the European Union, to increase social media investigation in an effort to mostly combat the power of US technology companies. The Donald Trump administration has criticized these efforts, as Vice President JD wagons criticized last week at a European Union European Union officials for their efforts to organize online expression. A Guide for the Rules for Supervision of the Content of the Digital Services Act set stricter requirements on many major internet platforms, which are defined than those exceeding the number of active users per month in the European Union 45 million. It should be noted that the classification under the European Union’s Digital Services Act excludes the number of users with the basic correspondence service at WhatsApp. Google faces the danger of division after the accusations of exploiting its control over advertising technology, but the committee will still have to judge the need to include WhatsApp at the most organized level. Under the European Union Digital Services Act, many large internet platforms must be assessed on risks associated with the spread of illegal or harmful content, and a strategy to reduce these risks. Fines under the Act can reach up to 6% of the company’s annual sales of the company. A spokesman for Mita did not respond to the comment request.
