In a letter to @EU_Commission Executive VP @HennaVirkkunen, US House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan claimed the #DSA โrequires that social media platforms have systematic processes to remove โmisleading or deceptive content,โ including so-called โdisinformation,โ even when such content โis not illegalโ.โ โThis 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. ๐ Read our new article for more details: Organizations that contributed to this investigation: @PagellaPolitica / @FactaNews, @LesSurligneurs. #UnitedAgainstDisinformation
United States House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan has sent a letter to the European Commission's tech boss, Henna Virkkunen, demanding more information about how the bloc will enforce its social media law against American companies.

โWe 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:
