The report of the European Union independent High level Group on fake news and online disinformation has been released. In the report, the experts convened argue that a broad societal understanding of misinformation tactics, beyond just the realm of just fake news.
“When tackling disinformation online, four principles under- lie my endeavour: transparency so that citizens have clear information about news sources and funding; diversity of information both online and offline because this fuels critical judgement; credibility of information must be obvious to citizens; and inclusivity as there can be no long term, sustainable solution without commitment from all the parties involved. I am pleased to see that these principles are well reflected in the recommendations made by the members of the HLEG in their final report.”
