What "new EU law" is being discussed? I read several articles like this but I failed to figure that out.
It helps me that this article expressed "The EU's Code of Practice on Disinformation, introduced in 2022, includes several voluntary commitments" is relevant, but I don't consider a law that is 2-3 years old to be "new". Moreover, I'm not even sure what a "voluntary commitment" is in the context of a law.
That voluntary commitment is to be made mandatory when the new law takes effect. Don't quite remember when exactly but it's in the future.
