| 3. | A wide range of phenomena involving online platforms and search engines give rise to a heightened risk to election integrity. These include, but are not limited to, the proliferation of illegal hate speech online, threats linked to foreign information manipulation and interference (“FIMI”) as well as the wider phenomenon of disinformation, the spread of (violent) extremist content and such with the intent to radicalise people, as well as the spread of content generated through new technologies such as generative Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) (3). In view of several elections planned in the EU in the months to come, including the upcoming 2024 elections to the European Parliament, this document contains guidance aimed at supporting providers of VLOPs and VLOSEs to ensure that, where appropriate, they comply with their obligation to mitigate specific risks linked to electoral processes. This guidance remains generally relevant even after those elections have taken place.
