The ACPDM, a self-regulatory code developed by DIGI, has been adopted by major companies including Adobe, Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Redbubble, TikTok, and Twitch. The current review of the Code will be comprehensive, examining the scope of the ACPDM and potential improvements to the code’s governance and oversight. We encourage stakeholders to this review to consider the challenges inherent in regulating misinformation and disinformation.
