The Dilemma of Disinformation: How should democracies respond?, Brussel - Hoofdinhoud

Democracies all over the world — including the United States and the European Union — are currently seeking to find adequate responses to the threat of online disinformation, which is often sponsored by authoritarian state actors. This EPRS event, held jointly with the Stanford Internet Observatory, will look at the options available to democratic countries in their (regulatory) responses to the threat of disinformation. How can we respond effectively without compromising our core values? [...]
