TREE NEWS update: European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said she will disclose details next week about the postponement of a social media policy proposal. The announcement concerns the timing of the EU executive’s planned social media rules, which have been delayed. No new date for the proposal was given.
Von der Leyen to Detail Delayed Social Media Policy Plan Next Week
The substance here is timing, not content: the EU executive is signalling that its social media rulemaking has slipped, without saying how far. For platforms and digital-asset firms already tracking Brussels' platform rules, the open question is whether the delay reflects political recalibration or merely scheduling, since either reading changes how much weight to give the Commission's stated pipeline. Watch next week's detail for whether a new date is attached at all — an announcement without one would suggest the file remains unsettled.
