Fact-checking is more important than ever.
In a world shaped by AI-generated content, deepfakes, and increasingly sophisticated misleading narratives, it’s becoming harder to tell what’s real and what’s not.
That’s why we’re acting - with stronger rules and tools to tackle disinformation:
The Digital Services Act The Code of Conduct on disinformation EUvsDisinfo European Digital Media Observatory@EUCommission Without punishing those who deliberately spread lies, it will be very difficult to fight disinformation. It’s easier to create 100 pieces of disinformation than to debunk just one. But everyone is afraid to punish, because they ask: "Who decides what is a lie and what is the truth?"
We’re losing.

@EUCommission Please take a look at Facebook and X in this regard then!
Thanks for the comment, @justive!
We are looking into many platforms, including X and Facebook. You can find an overview of our DSA-related investigations here: https://link.europa.eu/ngkJPH -

Non of these a great and frankly, there's no bullet proof solution to this.
The best solution by me would be a huge investments into education regarding propaganda, fakes, scams & existing technologies. Even for the older generations.
Society wide resilience towards fakes will take time, but it seems as the best option.
Why?
Because if you only sanction disinformation and not educate others about it, they will fall victim.2/2

Spotting and stopping it is a shared responsibility.
Before sharing content online, consider:
️ Check the source ️ Be cautious of strong emotional content ️ Verify images authenticity ️ Use fact-checking sites ️ Stop the spread of disinformation@EUCommission Still the media keeps sharing the constantlies from tRump and his cronies. They call it news but they parrot lies from the us and russia alike.
Peskov says, tRump says...

Before sharing content online, consider:
️ Check the source ️ Be cautious of strong emotional content ️ Verify images authenticity ️ Use fact-checking sites ️ Stop the spread of disinformationResearch shows it clearly: a tiny fraction of supersharers—many from coordinated troll farms—are responsible for spreading the vast majority of misinformation. Yet institutions keep blaming everyday people for the problem.
Stop shifting responsibility onto victims!
We won't solve misinformation by policing individual shares when the real sources operate at scale.
We won't reduce pollution by asking families to recycle while corporations emit freely.
We won't address climate change through personal choices when billionaires fly private jets and yachts.
The pattern is the same: systemic problems require systemic solutions. Targeting individuals while ignoring the infrastructure of disinformation is both ineffective and unfair.
The EU Commission's post misses the mark entirely.

Speak the truth about Israel.
Stop suppressing and censoring it.
And stop denying your complicity in Israel's genocide and war crimes.
Sanction Israel.
Double standards is no standards.

Hello @RaffKarva! Individual responsibility is only a small part of the picture. We're working on our end to hold big tech companies accountable. That's why we created the Digital Services Act. You can find an overview of our DSA-related investigations here: https://link.europa.eu/ngkJPH

@connynasch @EUCommission Yeah. Heard about this.
Seems reasonable.
