Bruxelles – Ces nouvelles obligations s’appliqueront uniquement aux \u00ab cha\u00eenes WhatsApp \u00bb, service qui s’apparente \u00e0 une plateforme de diffusion de contenus, et non aux fonctions de messagerie instantan\u00e9e de l’application, qui constituent de loin son activit\u00e9 principale, a pr\u00e9cis\u00e9 l’ex\u00e9cutif europ\u00e9en dans un communiqu\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WhatsApp avait d\u00e9clar\u00e9 l’an dernier dans un rapport de transparence que ses cha\u00eenes avaient franchi les 45 millions d’utilisateurs mensuels au sein de l\u2019UE, un seuil qui a entra\u00een\u00e9 son inscription \u00e0 la liste des tr\u00e8s grandes plateformes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
L’application est la 3e plateforme du groupe am\u00e9ricain Meta \u00e0 se voir imposer ce statut synonyme de r\u00e8gles et de contr\u00f4les renforc\u00e9s, apr\u00e8s Facebook et Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Les tr\u00e8s grandes plateformes en ligne (VLOPs en anglais) ont quatre mois pour se mettre en conformit\u00e9 avec ces r\u00e8gles, qui d\u00e9coulent de la l\u00e9gislation sur les services num\u00e9riques (Digital services act, DSA). En cas d’infractions graves et r\u00e9p\u00e9t\u00e9es, elles risquent de lourdes amendes (jusqu’\u00e0 6\u00a0% de leur chiffre d’affaires annuel mondial), voire une interdiction d’op\u00e9rer en Europe.
