Meta, TikTok, and X have legally challenged Ofcom's requests for detailed moderation data under the UK's Online Safety Act, arguing that the demands impose excessive regulatory burdens. The challenge poses a significant test to Ofcom's enforcement powers, which include fines of up to 10% of global turnover.
