EU Vice President's Stance on Conspiracy Theories

During a visit to Silicon Valley, EU Vice President Vera Yurova emphasized the importance of tech giants combatting content that distorts democracy. Yurova dismissed the priority of fighting moon landing or flat earth conspiracy theories, instead focusing on combatting false narratives that could mislead voters. The EU's efforts under the Tough New Digital Services Act require major platforms to counter disinformation or face substantial fines, promoting a concerted effort to protect democratic values.
