Meta to face EU probe for not doing enough to stop Russian disinformation

Enlarge (credit: FT) Brussels is set to open a probe into Meta’s Facebook and Instagram as soon as Monday over concerns the social media giant is failing to do enough to counter disinformation from Russia and other countries.
