Twitter failed to complete its first European Union test on how it deals with disinformation, just a few months before the bloc’s major content law — the Digital Services Act — and its potentially sweeping fines will start to apply.
Dozens of tech companies, including major social media firms like Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and TikTok, were asked to hand in a report this month on how they implemented the EU’s anti-disinformation charter, the 2022 Code of Practice on Disinformation, agreed in June 2022. Tech firms were asked to provide hundreds of detailed numbers and data on how they tackle falsehoods and foreign interference on their platforms.
But Elon Musk’s social network Twitter was the only tech company that provided an incomplete report, short of data and with no information on what its plan to cooperate with fact-checkers is, according to the European Commission.
