The European Commission has initiated public consultation on recommendations for major online platforms to combat electoral manipulation and misinformation. The measures focus on enhancing algorithm transparency and political ad disclosure. The consultation targets very large online platforms (VLOPs) and search engines (VLOSEs) to mitigate risks from information manipulation and generative AI in elections. Stakeholders are invited to contribute until November 23, 2026. Proposed revisions address recent technological developments and sophisticated manipulation risks, building on previous guidelines from April 2024. Key areas include combating foreign interference, improving recommendation systems, protecting candidates, and reporting measures post-election.
