The European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, released a study of six online platforms in Poland, Slovakia and Spain that found Twitter had the highest prevalence of disinformation and biggest ratio of disinformation actors.Jourova warned Musk that “he is not off the hook” just because his company dropped out of the code.
