Twitter withdrew from the European Union’s voluntary agreement to combat disinformation on the Internet.

This was announced by Thierry Breton, EU Commissioner for the Internal Market. social networksReports Ukrinform.

“Twitter is withdrawing from the EU’s voluntary Code of Practice on combating disinformation. But obligations remain,” Breton wrote.

In addition to voluntary obligations, he said, starting August 25, combating disinformation will become a legal obligation under the Digital Services Act (DSA).

“Our teams will be ready for law enforcement,” Breton said.

Simultaneous DW states that Twitter has yet to confirm exiting the deal.

As Ukrinform reports, billionaire Elon Musk bought Twitter last October.

In May 2023, Twitter’s new CEO introduced Linda Yaccarino. Musk himself will serve as chief executive officer and technical director, responsible for product, software and systems administrators.
