Countering disinformation
Since 2015, the European Union has set out and is actively implementing concrete measures to address disinformation, protect its democratic systems and public debates.
Roughly two thousand global leaders, politicians, activists, experts and young people from all over the world gathered in Strasbourg this week for the 2019 edition of the World Forum for Democracy, where they discussed democracy in the information age. Hosted by the Council of Europe, the forum provides a unique platform for debating solutions to key questions for democracies worldwide.
Hundreds of analyses, thousands of cases, people from more than 14 countries involved in the daily work, over 20 states and languages covered – a look back at the EUvsDisinfo work on countering disinformation
The European Union is helping countries in Central Asia take measures to effectively counter radicalisation and promote peace and stability. The aim is to increase societal resilience and empower people to spot and react to disinformation.
EU leaders and institutions assess the progress achieved in the fight against disinformation and draw key lessons from the European elections.
This year's theme for the World Press Freedom Day is “Media for Democracy: Journalism and Elections in Times of Disinformation”. The theme covers current challenges faced by media in elections, along with the media’s potential in supporting peace and reconciliation processes.
