Article summary

The European Commission has launched a consultation on guidelines for implementing media content removal safeguards under the European Media Freedom Act (EMFA). The guidelines will outline procedures for very large online platforms—those with over 45 million monthly users—to notify media providers before content removal and allow 24 hours for response. The measures, taking effect from August 2025, aim to protect media providers from unwarranted content removal while preserving editorial independence. The consultation closes on 23 July 2025.
