From the code of practice to the code of conduct? : navigating the future challenges of disinformation regulation

Abstract

The European policy on disinformation has changed in the last years. From a self-regulatory approach, the Union has moved towards a comprehensive strategy to address disinformation. The Digital Services Act and the Strengthened Code of Practice on Disinformation are particular examples of this transformation. However, the European approach still faces important challenges in the implementation phase. This work aims to address the evolution of the European policy on disinformation, particularly looking at the Strengthened Code of Practice on Disinformation.
