EU and US legal mechanisms to block russian disinformation in social networks

The article is devoted to the EU and US legal mechanisms for detecting and blocking russian disinformation in social networks. It was concluded that the EU is strengthening measures of legal response to illegal actions regarding disinformation spread by russian government. It is noted that the provisions on disinformation contained in the EU Code of Practice on Disinformation, the European Act on Media Freedom, and the European Act on Artificial Intelligence should be reflected in Ukrainian legislation. The terms of use of major online platforms are designed based on a liberal approach to freedom of speech and the fight against the spread of misinformation in the United States. However, the given examples of the removal of disinformation content by private companies located in the USA proved the need to develop legal mechanisms for direct communication with large online platforms to counter Russian disinformation.
