On November 12 (local time), the European Commission unveiled plans to establish a novel information regulatory entity aimed at countering the dangers presented by misinformation and manipulation. Concurrently, the EU is set to ramp up its investigations into major digital platforms, operating within the confines of the Digital Services Act and the Artificial Intelligence Act. These regulations mandate that platforms must either label or eliminate content generated through artificial intelligence and deepfake technologies, and also bolster oversight during European electoral periods. Public sentiment regards this as a pivotal step by the EU to amplify its role in regulating content circulated via digital communication channels and social media networks.
