Ice cream makers, Christmas lights manufacturers, and German landlords may receive extra EU protection from cyber attacks under the NIS2 Directive, which was passed in 2022. Governments were supposed to have legislation by late 2024, but France and Spain have not passed corresponding laws, and company registrations are slow in Germany.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (75/100).
The claims regarding the EU's NIS2 Directive and its implications for various sectors are mostly accurate. The directive was indeed passed in 2022, and there is evidence suggesting that certain sectors, including ice cream makers and Christmas lights manufacturers, may be considered for protection under this directive. However, the rollout has been described as wobbly, indicating some uncertainty in implementation. The claim about governments needing legislation by late 2024 is supported by evidence, although many have missed this deadline. France and Spain have not yet passed the necessary laws, which aligns with the evidence. The claim about slow company registrations in Germany is partially supported, as there are bureaucratic inefficiencies, but registrations have increased. Overall, the claims are mostly factual with some nuances and ongoing developments.
