In a letter to @EU_Commission Executive VP @HennaVirkkunen, US House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan claimed the #DSA โ€œrequires that social media platforms have systematic processes to remove โ€˜misleading or deceptive content,โ€™ including so-called โ€˜disinformation,โ€™ even when such content โ€˜is not illegalโ€™.โ€œ โŒThis claim is wrong. Removal of legal content, let alone dedicated systematic processes for such purposes, are never mentioned or foreseen by the DSA as a possible solution to address the systemic risk of #disinformation. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Read our new article for more details: Organizations that contributed to this investigation: @PagellaPolitica / @FactaNews, @LesSurligneurs. #UnitedAgainstDisinformation

โ€œWe did it in #Romania, and we will do it in #Germany if necessaryโ€: 4 weeks ahead of the German election, a decontextualised quote by a former #EU Commissioner is spread to insinuate that the EU is interfering w/ national #elections. The toxic message of this and similar false narratives is clear: don't trust the upcoming electoral process. In its weekly election update, @GADMOeu presents detected false content that defames candidates, creates confusion, and poisons the public discourse ahead of the vote: For an EU-wide overview of debunked #disinformation and analyses โ€“ e.g. on Pro-Russian disinformation entering #Bluesky โ€“ take a look at this month's best of #factchecking map:
