The European Union has criticized the social media platforms TikTok and Meta for contributing to the strain on the Spanish exclave Ceuta by spreading disinformation. In this situation, tens of thousands believe they can gain access to Europe by storming Ceuta.

This assessment is supported by reports highlighting the influence of these platforms on perceptions of migration flows. The EU is therefore calling for measures to curb the spread of misleading information.
