In its Declaration Decl(13/02/2019)1 of 13 February 2019 on the manipulative capabilities of algorithmic processes, the Committee of Ministers emphasised “the need to assess the regulatory frameworks related to political communication and electoral processes to safeguard the fairness and integrity of elections offline as well as online in line with established principles. In particular it should be ensured that voters have access to comparable levels of information across the political spectrum, that voters are aware of the dangers of political redlining, which occurs when political campaigning is limited to those most likely to be influenced, and that voters are protected effectively against unfair practices and manipulation.”
