Integration

In January 2025, the signatories of the Code, including those designated as Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs) and Very Large Online Search Engines (VLOSEs) under the DSA (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Bing, TikTok, YouTube, and Google Search), submitted the necessary documents supporting their request for its conversion into a Code of Conduct under the DSA. On that basis, the European Board for Digital Services and the Commission adopted their positive opinions, concluding that the Code meets the conditions specified in the DSA and endorsing its official integration into the DSA framework. As such, the Code will become a relevant benchmark for determining DSA compliance regarding disinformation risks for the providers of VLOPs and VLOSEs that adhere to and comply with its commitments. 

Considering that in 2024, the initial version of the Information Insurance project excluded commercialization and monetization, and was proposed for Ireland as a state instrument of the Republic of Ireland - official statements and appeals provide for a number of principles that oblige the Republic of Ireland to make efforts to counter disinformation, lies, and ensure psychological health of society. This means that Ireland, as a member state of the European Union, will be able to provide communication with European structures responsible for countering disinformation and lies. Based on the code, this technology (Information Insurance) can be implemented as a function in Facebook, Meta, YouTube and Google as a whole.

The future of the Information Insurance project will be determined in the near future. If the project ceases to be what it is described as on the main page (home), then this project will become a mechanism that the Republic of Ireland is obliged to implement in legal life in one form or another. As an additional option, "integration" is a convenient and effective way to implement the Information Insurance mechanism, which will provide a real function to counteract lies.
