-

Whether this is the moment when the EU can lead a global reduction in online disinformation, whilst protecting freedom of speech, and produce what could become the most advanced regulatory framework ever tabled - a “Paris Agreement” for disinformation. -

With up to date research on Covid 19 disinformation on social media, one year on, from the Centre for Countering Digital Hate and Avaaz and a platform by platform evaluation of their efforts to combat disinformation and the transparency they provide over their algorithmic black box. -

Between the Commission's Guidance for a new Code of Practice on Disinformation just released, and the Digital Services Act that is coming, what do we need to deliver an effective framework against disinformation?

Speakers will include:

-

EU Vice President Commissioner Věra Jourová -
