EU Technology Chief Henna Virkkunen announced Tuesday that Meta and TikTok have agreed to fact-check content related to border crossings, according to a report. The move aims to prevent criminal networks from using false information to lure potential migrants, a practice Virkkunen said has led to tragic deaths. The announcement comes as the European Union grapples with a migration crisis, with multiple member states tightening borders in response to irregular crossings. As The Zioneer has reported, 22 EU leaders criticized Spain's migration policy in late July, and Italy suspended Schengen cooperation with Spain over the Ceuta crisis.
