Social media – towards an EU response

This procedure examines how the European Union can effectively combat the spread of hate speech, populist disinformation, and fake news on social media platforms. It aims to protect democratic discourse and social cohesion by addressing the systemic ways misinformation spreads online.

This affects social media companies, content moderators, and internet users across the EU. It seeks to establish guidelines or regulations to reduce online racism and xenophobia while safeguarding media freedom.
