Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media
Online Safety, Online Disinformation and Media Literacy: Discussion
Ms Susan Moss:
To that end, we are a signatory to the code of practice on disinformation, COPD. We have extensive reporting obligations under the COPD. It will find a legislative footing under the Digital Services Act. The DOPD is a co-regulatory procedure. We are also regulated in disinformation under the Digital Services Act. Therefore, where there is a systemic risk we, as a platform, have a responsibility and disinformation is included in those systemic risks. There is regulation but we, as a platform, have not waited for regulation. We have gone above and beyond to implement measures to try to catch disinformation. I absolutely accept that it is an industry-wide challenge. There is no finish line to catching this kind of content. We can do better and will do better.
