The European Commission opened a consultation on November 10 on revised election guidelines under the Digital Services Act. The draft covers very large online platforms and search engines. People and organisations with relevant experience can respond by November 23.

The proposals include keeping deepfake labels visible when material is shared and testing recommendation algorithms for manipulation before national elections. The draft also calls for platforms to report within 30 days of an election on how they addressed risks. The Commission is seeking feedback on changes to its April 2024 guidelines.
