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.
