The High Court in London has rejected a legal petition brought by Meta, TikTok, and X against British communications regulator Ofcom, Arutz Sheva and The Jerusalem Post reported.

The tech companies challenged regulatory notices demanding detailed metrics on content moderation under the UK's Online Safety Act, arguing that the requests impose an unprecedented regulatory burden. Following the court's decision, the companies' appeal was dismissed, leaving the regulatory demands in place.

Further details regarding potential future legal steps have not yet been released.
