European Commission says it is “actively monitoring fake news” of the incident, and ready to impose fines on tech platforms for “failing to tackle disinformation.”
According to a report this morning in BNN Bloomberg:
The European Commission said it’s “actively monitoring” the spread of fake news about Wednesday’s shooting Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico and warned it can slap Big Tech platforms with fines for failing to tackle disinformation.
The regulator “is equipped with wide-ranging investigatory and supervisory powers, including the power to impose sanctions and remedies,” it said in an emailed statement.
Violations could be punished under the European Union’s tough new Digital Services Act, which forces online platforms to put into place measures to tackle illegal content and disinformation, uphold user rights, and protect user’s health and wellbeing.
In other words, the European Commission has already decided the orthodox narrative of this crime—even before a full and transparent investigation has been performed—and will censor any theory or narrative of the crime that diverges from the orthodoxy.

Nobody has had the time to do any analysis of the situation nor to try to uncover what may have happened, but we are already told that if anyone dares to give an opinion they will be slapped with a fine.
Good old democracy at work again. Could anything be clearer?
It suggests EU is behind the attempt. Otherwise why worry?
