EU Code of Practice on Disinformation — Platforms Report Removal Metrics
Platforms published transparency reports under the EU Code of Practice on Disinformation showing removal rates for "coordinated inauthentic behaviour." Critics argued the Code incentivised platforms to over-remove political content to avoid regulatory scrutiny. State-funded EDMO fact-checkers flagged content for removal, effectively giving government-adjacent bodies veto power over online political speech.
