Mr. Wayne Moroney:

The DSA election guidelines are very much an extension of that obligation under Articles 34 and 35. They are responsible for providing appropriate staff and resources to a particular election. They are responsible for understanding and providing a response to a particular election, so each election in itself.

Platforms are also responsible for mitigating those risks across multiple service areas and must work to ensure that they and their advertisements provide transparent and quality information to users. Beyond that, there are also reporting obligations. It is not just that they have to provide staff and act on the election in good faith and with transparency; they must also provide reporting at the end of the period. If they do not adhere to the measures and guidelines provided under the DSA election guidelines, they must explain why their measures are good enough. They are not only accountable in the context of the guidelines; if they choose not to follow those guidelines because they have their own suite of responses, they must explain what they are and why they are good enough in the face of those guidelines. There is a suite of responses.

Alongside that, I reiterate that the power of the terms and conditions and notice in action mechanisms is the opportunity for users to report content and require the platforms to act. If they do not act or if the response is unsuitable, it can be reported to us. One of our opportunities is to receive and pursue that complaint.
