DISINFO: EU's new action plan against disinformation provides for strengthening surveillance of online platforms

SUMMARY

EU’s new action plan against disinformation provides for strengthening surveillance of online platforms.

RESPONSE

The EU's action plan against disinformation does not impose surveillance on social media companies. Instead the Commission will, with the help of the European Regulators Group for Audio-visual Media Services (ERGA), monitor the implementation of the commitments by the signatories of the Code of Practice and will regularly inform on whether and to what extent individual platforms are meeting these commitments. Cooperation is purely voluntary. cdn1-eeas.fpfis.tech.ec.europa.eu/cdn/farfuture/lpM1X9RnuE28GrR78F7yFA0HtKjii4TzKMvXoSg5Bn0/mtime:1544008849/sites/eeas/files/action_plan_against_disinformation.pdf,

Disclaimer

Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform. EUvsDisinfo publications do not represent an official EU position, as the information and opinions expressed are based on media reporting and analysis of the East Stratcom Task Force.
