The only removal happened on Facebook, and the user wasn\u2019t informed. Platforms reacted only when contacted by authorities, revealing that user complaints carry little weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This gap in enforcement leaves Russian-speaking communities in the Baltics especially exposed, as many rely on social media for news following the ban on Kremlin-linked TV channels. With elections approaching and Russian influence operations intensifying, the failure of platforms to address harmful content poses serious information security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#ffcd05\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Read the full HOT REPORT and learn what can be done about this problem here:<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/becid.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/HOT-REPORT-NOVEMBER-2025-2.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of HOT REPORT NOVEMBER 2025 (2).\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-8f9b9b25-80b4-43c0-8675-167547466931\" href=\"https:\/\/becid.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/HOT-REPORT-NOVEMBER-2025-2.pdf\">HOT REPORT NOVEMBER 2025 (2)<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/becid.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/HOT-REPORT-NOVEMBER-2025-2.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-8f9b9b25-80b4-43c0-8675-167547466931\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new investigation by Latvian think tank Providus shows that major social media platforms are not enforcing the EU Digital Services Act (DSA) when users report harmful or illegal content.
