“The best weapon against disinformation is information. Impartial, trustworthy, independent journalism. It’s important to inform but it’s also important to empower.”
A strong message from Liliane Landor, Director BBC World Service, at the #DisinfoSummit @lilo11
“Since the start of the war, we have signed deals to make sure there is factual reporting available to Russians… Putin’s actions to assert control are ultimately a sign of weakness. If he felt his control was so strong, he wouldn’t have felt a need to block access.” @jamiemfly
“The news business has changed. Media technology has changed too. Partnerships and exchanging best practices are key to providing reliable information to people in oppressed populations. But also partnerships ‘underground’ with local journalists and media.”
Kelu Chao @USAGMgov
Michael Chertoff, delivers keynote address at #DisinfoSummit
“The issue of propaganda and lies goes beyond the Internet although the Internet has certainly made it easier…Yet when moderating content, we must be careful not to use too broad a brush.”
@ChertoffGroup

RT @FitzgeraldFrncs: A very worthwhile event being held by @EPPGroup this afternoon.
Disinformation and fake news is a key part of Putin’s hybrid warfare machine.
We need to do far more to counter the serious threats to our elections, referendums & democracies 🇪🇺
We must assess the role & responsibilities of platforms.
@AuraSalla and @nickpickles outlining the work of @Meta and @Twitter on #disinformation since the beginning of the invasion of #Ukraine.
Collaboration, digital literacy and implementation of #DSA are key.
“The biggest challenge we have right now is that transparency for the sake of transparency doesn’t bring accountability. We need transparency that can be used to hold people to account. Actors, algorithms.. We need a policy for sanctions.” @AAlaphilippe @DisinfoEU #DisinfoSummit
“It’s not one single measure. We need to think in very different policy areas: foreign and security, education, digital policy. The one thing I would underline is we need to support those civil society actors - fact checkers, researchers.” @LutzGuellner of @eu_eeas #DisinfoSummit
Putin fears Ukraine. Because he fears its sovereignty. And he knows if Ukraine succeeds, the Russian people might start to ask why they can’t have the same freedoms.
