Signatories to the Code of Practice on Disinformation Fight Online Disinformation
Summary
On September 26, 2023, European Commission Vice-President Věra Jourova commended major platforms, which signed the Code of Practice on Disinformation, for “starting to put in place safeguards to inform users about the synthetic origin of content posted online” in an attempt to combat election disinformation. At the same time, she urged platforms to “intensify” their efforts “considering the high potential of such realistic AI products for creating and disseminating disinformation,” stating that those risks are “particularly high in the context of elections.” Reports detailing the signatories’ efforts over the last six months are expected soon.
