Summary/Abstract: In March 2018 a High Level Expert Group set up by the European Commission published a report on fake news and on-line disinformation. The goal of the report was to advise on policy initiatives to counter these negative phenomena. Although the document is generally valuable, we believe that it remains fixed on “evergreen” policies that may be suited for traditional journalism, but that are deficient in solving the problems of the new digital media matrix.
