"In what can be seen as an open clampdown against the freedoms and rights of social media influencers, the Italian Regulatory Authority of Telecommunications (AGCOM) has announced that people with a following exceeding 1,000,000 will now be legally considered as “producers of audio-visual content” within the law, placing them on the same legal footing as publishers."

I suspect this language will cause a certain amount of confusion as to what a "publisher" is.

"Under the new regulations, influencers are compelled to clearly distinguish sponsored content and ads, with penalties reaching up to a quarter-million euros for non-compliance. Violations concerning child protection could warrant penalties exceeding half a million euros. Even non-commercial content produced by influencers must adhere to anti-discrimination regulations and uphold various standards currently imposed on traditional media creators, such as abstention from disseminating “misinformation,” “hate speech,” or promotion of “harmful” behavior like excessive alcohol consumption."

Sounds troublesome for free expression.
