Sažetak
In the view of the 2019 European Parliament elections and elections being held in Member States, the European Commission has recognised the exposure of citizens to large scale online disinformation and micro-targeting of voters based on the unlawful processing of personal data as the major challenges for Europe and European democratic systems. In a response to these challenges, and to ensure citizens’ access to a variety of credible information sources and voices, the EC has put in place several mainly platforms-oriented actions and measures which aim to create an overarching “European approach”. This paper provides a preliminary analysis of this approach to identify which are the key principles upon which it builds ; and to what extent, if at all, they differ from the principles of media regulation in electoral period. The analysis further looks at how these principles are elaborated in the new context and whether it reflects the complexity of the challenges identified.
