BRUSSELS, May 28 (Reuters) - The European Commission on

Tuesday said Meta Platforms ( META ) had taken measures to

mitigate the spread of disinformation in the run-up to the EU

elections.

"Meta has now deployed new functionalities .. 27 new

real-time visual dashboards, one for each member state, to allow

third-party real-time civic discourse and election monitoring,"

a spokesperson for the commission said.

The European Commission last month opened an investigation

into suspected breaches of EU online content rules against Meta,

as it said its Facebook and Instagram platforms had failed to

tackle disinformation and deceptive advertising.

The commission said it would monitor the roll out of the new

features as the formal procedures against Meta were ongoing.
