On October 25, members of the European Parliament announced a resolution urging a social media
company to allow EU bodies to carry out a full audit to assess data
protection and the security of users' personal data. This
announcement arises out of alleged misuse of users' personal
data on the social media platform by a third party. The members
suggested that EU Member States conduct investigations in
conjunction with the European Union's Judicial Cooperation
Unit, known as Eurojust, whose mission is to promote and strengthen
coordination and cooperation among national authorities to combat
serious cross-border crime. The members also called for EU Member
States to consider implementing rules to prevent political and
electoral interference via social media.
