Social media platforms report disinformation to EU

Online platforms including TikTok, YouTube and Facebook have submitted detailed reports to the EU on their battles against disinformation. The reports reveal efforts by the big platforms to take down hundreds of videos, discredit weblinks and cut off adverts for propaganda sites. The EU’s Code of Practice on Disinformation is trying to push the social media firms to take more action. X, formally Twitter, has refused to take part. European Commissioner for Values and Transparency, Věra Jourová, says the war in Ukraine, and forthcoming European elections, are particularly worrying breading grounds for misinformation.
