EDMO Ireland’s Aidan O’Brien has drawn attention to the underlying “disinformation economy” of digital platforms. Meanwhile, the Irish Independent reports that the Gardaí are trying to remove disinformation about the organisation’s response to the fuel protest.
Europe’s Digital Service Act (DSA) provides for the removal of illegal content. Regarding harmful content including disinformation, the DSA aims to address underlying structures that incentivise or enable harm rather than individual pieces of content.
