IDMO and EDMO welcome the 2022 Strengthened Code of Practice on Disinformation

The Code of Practice on Disinformation is a first-of-its kind tool through which relevant players in the industry agreed – for the first time in 2018 – on self-regulatory standards to fight disinformation

The involvement of many different actors in its drafting, confirms what it is at the core of EDMO, namely the importance of a multidisciplinary and multistakeholder effort.

The new code sees an important role for EDMO in the implementation of a number of commitments. This role is a recognition of what EDMO has already achieved in a short time frame.

EDMO will also have a seat in the permanent task force that will ensure that the Code adapts and evolves in view of technological, societal, market, and legislative developments.
