In the digital age, misinformation and disinformation have become major threats to the information space and information integrity. The spread of fake news, propaganda, and conspiracy theories can undermine trust in democratic institutions and erode the foundations of our societies. In this session, we will explore strategies to safeguard the information space and combat misinformation in the digital age. We will hear from experts in media literacy, fact-checking, and online security, who will share insights on identifying and countering false information, promoting digital literacy and critical thinking, and ensuring transparency and accountability. Join us for a timely and informative discussion on the challenges and opportunities of protecting democracy in the age of information warfare.
