2. **Key Elements**:
- **Holistic Approach**: The EU should take a comprehensive approach to the EDS, addressing both internal and external threats to democracy, including media literacy, fact-checking, and support for independent journalism[1][2][3].
- **External Dimension**: The EDS should have a strong external dimension to protect and promote democracy beyond EU borders, particularly in candidate countries facing challenges to their democratic processes[1][2][5].
- **Regulatory Measures**: It involves enforcing existing digital legislation and considering further regulatory actions, such as addressing the business model of big tech companies that amplify information manipulation[2][3][5].
