Discover the Code of Practice on Disinformation
Find out what online platforms, civil society, fact-checkers, ad tech players, and many others do to combat disinformation and misinformation online.
By joining the 2022 Code, new signatories will be part of an EU-wide forum bringing together a variety of relevant players who seek to strengthen their actions, share best practices and improve cooperation in order to mitigate the risks stemming from disinformation in the EU.
The Code of Practice on Disinformation is a first-of-its kind tool through which relevant players in the online information ecosystem active in the EU agreed on self-regulatory standards to fight disinformation, – for the first time in 2018.
The Task-force is composed of representatives of signatories, the European Regulators’ Group for Audiovisual Media Services, the European Digital Media Observatory and the European External Action Service, and is chaired by the Commission.
PERMANENT Taskforce
The permanent Task-force will keep the Code future-proof and fit-for-purpose, by establishing a forum to review and adapt the commitments in view of technological, societal, market and legislative developments.
The Task-force is composed of representatives of signatories, the European Regulators’ Group for Audiovisual Media Services, the European Digital Media Observatory and the European External Action Service, and is chaired by the Commission.
