The 2022 Code of Practice on Disinformation
The Code brings together industry to voluntarily combat online disinformation. In 2021, the Commission published guidance to make it even stronger, so that the online environment will be more clear, safe and reliable, including for children and other vulnerable groups. Facebook, Google and Twitter, Mozilla, Microsoft and TikTok, among others, have signed up. Best practice includes examples of fact-checking resources, and prioritizing news from trusted sources. An updated Code will be published in March 2022.
