Thierry Breton<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> , who is The EU's internal market Commissioner<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> , - But warned The Firm<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> new laws would force compliance.
" Obligations remain. You can run But you can't hide, " He Said<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> .

Firms that sign The Code<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> can decide which pledges to make, such as cooperating with fact-checkers or tracking political advertising.
Under Elon Musk<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> 's ownership, moderation at Twitter<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> has reportedly been greatly reduced - which critics say has allowed an increase in The spread of disinformation.
The Social Media<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> giant used to have a dedicated team that worked to combat coordinated disinformation campaigns, The majority of these specialists resigned or were laid off.
Last month, The Bbc<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> found hundreds of Russian and Chinese state propaganda accounts were thriving on Twitter<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> .
But Twitter<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> boss Mr Musk " less misinformation rather than more" since he took over last October.
Alongside The voluntary code, The EU has also brought in a Digital Services Act - a law which obliges firms to do more to tackle illegal online content.
From 25 August, platforms with More Than<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> 45 million monthly active users in The EU - which includes Twitter<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> -
The Law<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> will mean Twitter<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> will have to have a mechanism for users to flag illegal content, Act upon notifications " expeditiously" and put in measures to address The spread of disinformation.
On Friday, AFP news agency quoted an European Commission<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> official as saying: " If (Elon Musk<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> ) doesn't take The Code<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> seriously, then it's better that he quits. "
