The European Commission gave Twitter a yellow card
The European Commission, which is responsible for combating misinformation online, expressed disappointment with Twitter’s performance in providing the necessary data to this body and gave the company a yellow card
Accordingly, if Twitter does not fulfill its commitments by next June, it may be fined by Europe
Věra Jourová, Vice-President for Values and Transparency of the European Commission, emphasized in a press statement that transparency should be greater than this, and one cannot rely solely on the platforms themselves for the quality of information in the digital space
According to her, the information that platforms report in the field of combating misinformation and falsehoods must be independently verifiable
Unlike companies like Google, Meta, Microsoft, and TikTok, Twitter was unable to convince the members of the European Commission regarding its performance in combating misinformation in the semi-annual report submitted
