The report evaluates compliance and effectiveness across key areas such as media literacy, fact-checking, transparency, and researcher access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Findings reveal <strong>limited and inconsistent efforts<\/strong> across platforms. While some initiatives exist\u2014like Google\u2019s prebunking tools or TikTok\u2019s fact-checking partnerships: most platforms lack transparency, measurable impact data, or independent verification. Microsoft\u2019s reporting was found to be especially weak, while Meta\u2019s future commitment appears uncertain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The evaluation draws from transparency reports, expert surveys, and independent verification by EDMO researchers. Despite some promising practices, <strong>no platform fully meets expectations<\/strong> for accountability or effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EDMO recommends stronger reporting obligations and independent audits to ensure meaningful progress. The report sets a benchmark as the EU prepares to enforce stricter digital governance and fight online misinformation more effectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new report by the European Digital Media Observatory (EDMO) assesses how major online platforms are implementing the EU\u2019s Code of Practice on Disinformation (CoPD) ahead of its formal adoption under the Digital Services Act on July 1, 2025.
