It's set to become mandatory, i.e. law. According to the article.
And this isn't a free speech issue. It's about disinformation. Folks can say what they want, but a political ad needs to clearly be a political ad. And disinformation can't be profit motivated.
It's all in the article you just linked. You can say what ever you want, but if it's bullshit, Google will need to flag it or face fines.
They've posted about a dozen times since I stated I'd love to hear good faith arguments beyond DEI hires are woke.
From their bio... "I say unpopular things but never something I know to be untrue. Always open to hear good-faith counter arguments. My goal is to engage in dialogue that seeks truth rather than scoring points."
I did ask and you haven't responded. DEI hires are only a small fraction of what Meta is doing. But you hyperfocused on it while ignoring gaslighting LGBTQ folks, misogynistic stances towards women, and nationalist stances towards immigration.
How is that not Nazi shit?
Workforce diversity was touched on in my college business courses (I went to work in the non-profit sector).
It's a benefit to companies for all the reasons squid stated. Nixing it is virtue signaling towards the fascist regime.
Gaslighting LGBTQ folks. Misogynistic stances towards women. Nationalist stances towards immigration.
Seems far-right to me.
If you have a good faith argument as to how that's not Nazi shit other than, 'DEI hires are woke', I'd love to hear it. Because it seems like you based your whole argument on a very narrow understanding of the situation.
Assuming you're asking in good faith, the code is here.

Paid fact-checkers spread across all member states.
"The new Code will extend fact-checking coverage across all EU Member States and languages and ensure that platforms will make a more consistent use of fact-checking on their services. Moreover, the Code works towards ensuring fair financial contributions for fact-checkers' work and better access to fact-checkers to information facilitating their daily work."
Essentially, everything will have Snopes attached to it. Including political ads and other forms of advertising. As well as more blatant propaganda.
