Thematic scope

The impact of fake news and manipulation on the public opinion, political decision-making, and social trust. How to effectively protect society against disinformation? Poland and Europe face a challenge of creating effective information resilience. Should we respond to disinformation or fight it at its source? The role of big tech and social media – how to enforce the responsibility of platforms under DSA; how to regulate, without curtailing freedom? Effective counter measures – fact-checking is not enough. From targeted actions to systemic prevention. A need for national information safety strategy. What tools should the state be equipped with? Models of cooperation between administration, legislators, platforms, and the media.
