| The European Commission publishes a set of reports on actions taken in December 2020, provided by the signatories of the Code of Practice on Disinformation as part of the COVID-19 monitoring and reporting programme. The Commission also announces the continuation of the programme as the pandemic is still unfolding. The COVID-19 monitoring programme is a transparency measure to ensure public accountability of the signatories of the Code of Practice on Disinformation, set up under the 10 June 2020 Joint Communication “Tackling COVID-19 disinformation - Getting the facts right”. Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Twitter and TikTok have submitted baseline reports covering their actions from the inception of the crisis through July, and subsequent monthly update reports on their actions to limit the spread of COVID-19 disinformation. Today, we publish the January 2021 reports on actions taken in December 2020. The reports continue to provide a good overview of the evolution of the measures put in place by the platforms to limit the spread of COVID-19 disinformation. |
