The Council of the European Union (EU) wants digital influencers who create content to be aware of the negative impact of sharing disinformation, proposing that the European Commission explore ways to support them in this regard.

The Council “invites the Commission to explore ways to support influencers at EU level, notably through a coherent policy approach focusing on media literacy and responsible online behaviour, as well as making use of existing EU funding and programmes in the area of media literacy”, according to the conclusions presented in Brussels.
Member States also want to increase cooperation with influencers and their emerging representative organisations “in order to ensure that they are aware of their role in the media ecosystem and of the legislation that applies to them”.
Influencers, the Council believes, need “media literacy skills to understand the potential negative impact of sharing misinformation and disinformation, online hate speech, cyberbullying and other illegal or harmful content”.
One concern is the growing number of ‘kidfluencers’ – influencers under the age of 18 – and the need for parents, guardians and carers to protect them and ensure they are aware of their legal obligations.
