欧盟执行副主席Henna Virkkunen召集社交媒体平台代表，就Ceuta边境危机期间的虚假信息传播问题进行磋商。[1]Virkkunen在周五与TikTok和Meta代表会面后表示，"平台必须采取果断行动维护数字空间的完整性，特别是在危机局势期间"。[1]
此前，约72000人从摩洛哥涌入Ceuta，部分人员因社交媒体上的虚假承诺所吸引。[1]这些虚假信息宣称欧盟在Ceuta的边境突然开放，并承诺提供住宿和运往西班牙本土的巴士。[1]虚假信息主要出现在TikTok、Telegram和Meta等平台上。[1]
关于危机造成的伤亡，西班牙当局称80人死亡，摩洛哥方面报告11人死亡，但人权组织估计总死亡人数超过140人。[1]欧盟要求相关平台在危机期间加强监管措施，并加强与事实核查机构的合作。[1]
The European Union's Executive Vice President Henna Virkkunen convened meetings with major social media platforms to address the spread of false information during the Ceuta border crisis.[1] Approximately 72,000 people crossed from Morocco into Ceuta, with some drawn by misleading claims circulated on social networks.[1] The misinformation campaign falsely promised that EU borders in Ceuta had suddenly opened and offered housing and bus transport to mainland Spain.[1]
The border crisis resulted in significant loss of life, though accounts vary substantially. Spanish authorities reported 80 deaths, while Moroccan officials cited 11 fatalities, and human rights organizations estimated the total exceeded 140 deaths.[1] The false information spread across multiple platforms, including TikTok, Telegram, and Meta services.[1] Following meetings held on Friday with representatives from TikTok and Meta, Virkkunen stated: "Platforms must act decisively in keeping the integrity of the digital space, in particular during crisis situations."[1] The EU called on the platforms to strengthen their content moderation efforts and enhance cooperation with fact-checking organizations during periods of crisis.[1]
