The EU's marking Code of Practice finalised three official disclosure icons. Where they belong on a video, and why they stack with platform labels.
Every placement rate and salary figure in a trade school video needs evidence on demand. A claims-to-source table and an instructor-plus-lab format that scales.
EU Article 50 and California's AB 853 both went operative on 2 August 2026. What each asks of a creator selling into both markets, and the gap neither closes.
