Twitter is considering leaving the EU's Code of Practice against online disinformation. The agreement brings together the main platforms on a voluntary basis.
Since buying Twitter six months ago, billionaire Elon Musk has relaxed moderation of problematic content, and appears to have amplified the voices of notorious propagators of misinformation on the platform. Twitter has indicated that it prefers to use its own community of Internet users rather than fact-checkers, a European source said. The code remains voluntary, however "we cannot avoid the DSA", the new law on digital services that came into force in mid-November.
