Twitter is withdrawing from the European Union's disinformation code

"(Twitter) is withdrawing from the EU's Voluntary Code of Practice against Misinformation. But obligations remain. You can evade your responsibilities, but you will eventually face them," Breton said on his Twitter account late on Friday. .

He added that, in addition to the voluntary commitments, combating disinformation will become a legal obligation from August 25 under the EU Digital Services Act.

He added that Twitter would fall under this law as it is a very large platform on the Internet, which would require it to address harmful content and submit an annual risk assessment to the Commission. "Our teams will be ready to roll," Britton added in a tweet.
