They analyse the emerging regulatory struggle by focusing on one specific dimension: disinformation. The most influential initiative took place within the <strong data-renderer-mark=\"true\">Digital Services Act (DSA)<\/strong>, approved in 2022. This approach, characterised as \u2018<strong data-renderer-mark=\"true\">co-regulation<\/strong>\u2019, breaks away from the EU\u2019s previously dominant approach of self-regulation for digital platforms by trying to regulate with these platforms rather than leaving them to set their own policies. The best illustration of this approach is the second version of the Code of Practice on disinformation, which has been ultimately included within the DSA as a Code of Conduct in 2025.<\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"1351\">Using data from public consultations, meetings with the Commission, and interviews, they conduct a process-tracing to <strong data-renderer-mark=\"true\">uncover the genealogy of the EU&#8217;s co-regulatory framework<\/strong>\u00a0from the 2018 High Level Expert Group on Fake News and Disinformation (HLEG) until 2025. They conclude that <strong data-renderer-mark=\"true\">preemptive cooperation by the platforms has sidelined regulatory alternatives<\/strong>. They will also present <strong data-renderer-mark=\"true\">the public data <\/strong>set upon which their presentation has been based.<\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"1804\">&#8212;<\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"1808\"><strong data-renderer-mark=\"true\">Alvaro Oleart<\/strong>\u00a0is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Political Science and the Institute for European Studies of the Universit\u00e9 libre de Bruxelles (ULB).
