EU Opens Investigation of Snap Over Child Grooming, Illegal Sales

Social media platform Snapchat, owned by U.S. tech company Snap, was hit with an EU investigation ​as regulators warned it appears not to be doing ‌enough to prevent child grooming and the sale of illegal goods. The EU is conducting the probe under the Digital Services Act, which requires big online platforms to ​do more to tackle illegal and harmful content or risk fines of ​as much as 6% of their global annual sales.
