The European Union’s base of power is nervous about this year’s upcoming parliamentary elections in the face of rising resistance to their anti-sovereignty, anti-liberty, anti-human policies. To combat the rise of resistance, the EU hopes to create an army of far-left censorship groups social media companies will be forced to rely on to stay compliant to their particular definition of “election disinformation” (which is a dog whistle for “silence dissent”).
The European Conservative exposed the far left partisan definitions of “disinformation” offered by the EU’s social media election disinformation guidelines and the highly far-left partisan nature of the so-called neutral organizations social media companies are being de facto forced to rely on for definitions of “disinformation.”

… On Tuesday, March 26th, the European Commission released a lengthy document entitled “Guidelines for providers of VLOPs and VLOSEs on the mitigation of systemic risks for electoral processes,” meant to be implemented as prescribed or replaced by equally effective measures.
The alphabet soups in the title refer to “very large online platforms” (such as social media giants, like Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok) and “very large online search engines” (like Google), defined as providers with an average monthly active user-base of at least 45 million in Europe.
The guidelines instruct social media platforms to multiply their usual moderation efforts during election periods—it’s “recommended” to start six months before an election and last until at least a month after—by setting up specialized monitoring and risk assessment teams including experts with country-specific knowledge, such as local, independent fact-checkers and civil society organizations.
