#CodeOfPractice = agile tool for emerging phenomena

(3/10) Approach based on
✔️transparency 🔦 and due diligence to address risks instead of regulating content
✔️empowering users, protecting their rights and safety 
✔️disinformation has many facets ➡️ broad range of actors 🪢 needed to respond
#DigitalEU

(4/10) What is new:
1. Concrete commitments, measures to cover gaps, react to evolving risks
2. Consistent policies across languages
3Safety by design, addressing emerging manipulative techniques
4. Legal backbone of #DSA for large platforms
5. Monitoring and access to data

(5/10) Transparency, access to data key to identify threats + assess effectiveness of measures.

We must look at all aspects - actors, behaviour, content, impact - to have the right diagnosis.

For this we need data and researchers #CodeOfPractice provides a framework.

(6/10) We have a solid foundation, a monitoring framework to assess, and a system to evolve the new Code. Homework from last year done ✅
