 ===== Application to cyber and information operations =====
 Under the DSA, providers of very large online platforms and search engines must assess and mitigate systemic risks, including negative effects on civic discourse and electoral processes ([[law:eu:dsa]]). The Commission and the Board state that full adherence to the Code may be considered an appropriate risk mitigation measure for such providers. According to the Commission, a rapid response system under the Code was used during the European Parliament elections of June 2024.
