Question for written answer  E-001903/2024
to the Commission
Rule 144
Veronika Cifrová Ostrihoňová (Renew)

In the light of President von der Leyen’s commitment to establishing a ‘European Democracy Shield’ aimed at tackling deceitful online content, I would like to request further clarification on the role envisaged for digital platforms, which are often conduits for the dissemination of disinformation, including content generated by AI.

• 1.Could the Commission describe what new mechanisms could be introduced to ensure that these platforms contribute effectively to the prevention and prebunking of disinformation?
• 2.Could the Commission provide details of the anticipated timeline and scope for the roll-out of this initiative?
