# The EU preliminarily determines that metaverse companies violate the Digital Services Act and may face hefty fines

> The European Commission has preliminarily determined that metaverse companies have violated the Digital Services Act and may face fines of up to 6% of their global revenue. Reasons include failing to provide adequate data access, hindering the assessment of user protection measures, and setting up cumbersome procedures that lead to incomplete research data. The EU criticized its reporting mechanism as inconvenient, with users lacking effective channels for complaints. The metaverse denies any violations and states that it has adjusted relevant processes in accordance with the new regulations

On October 24th local time, the European Commission stated that it has preliminarily determined that the Metaverse company has violated the EU Digital Services Act. If the Metaverse company fails to rectify the alleged violations, it could face fines of up to 6% of its global revenue. The Commission pointed out that the platform failed to provide sufficient data access to researchers, hindering the assessment of its measures to protect users from illegal or harmful content. The EU criticized the company for setting "overly cumbersome procedures," resulting in incomplete or unreliable research data. The European Commission accused the Metaverse's Facebook and Photo Wall of failing to provide an easy mechanism for reporting illegal content, and users lack effective appeal channels after content is deleted or accounts are suspended. The Metaverse denied the violations, stating that it has adjusted reporting options, appeal processes, and data access tools in accordance with the EU's new regulations
