US EditionMeta and TikTok challenge tech fees in second highest EU court
- On Wednesday, Meta Platforms and TikTok filed a case at the EU General Court disputing the fees imposed on them for regulatory oversight under the Digital Services Act.
- The companies argue the fees, set at 0.05% of global net income, are based on flawed, opaque methods that inflate and disproportionally increase charges.
- Meta's lawyer said the fee wrongly uses group-wide revenue instead of subsidiaries’ figures, while TikTok claimed user counts are inflated by double counting across devices.
- TikTok's lawyer called the fee “inaccurate” and “discriminatory,” and Meta’s representative said they remain unclear how the Commission exactly calculated the levy.
- The court is expected to rule next year, possibly clarifying the legality and fairness of the EU’s fee structure under the Digital Services Act.
