Amazing day listening to experts on #humanrights and #disinformation conference promoted by @EURightsAgency.
10 notes so far:
1. Disinformation has not become more sophisticated. Most of it remains quite basic and deep fakes are rare.

1. Disinformation has not become more sophisticated. Most of it remains quite basic and deep fakes are rare.
2. Accountability not only on govs but also on civil society. “Follow the money” says @PaulNemitz and make those who profit from #disinformation pay.
3. Emotion is used to fuel #disinformation and can be used in the response, general consensus’s is that “reframing the discussion” is a good starting point.
4. @peterpomeranzev points out how #disinformation is more than content and is also behaviour. He also brings up the ideas of #digital Human Rights courts.
5. @ChloeColliver2 reminds us that discussing #disinformation May distract us from more important issues happening in our environment.
6. Gabrielle Guillemon wraps up with a reminder of the role of a #FreePress and that journalists are a fundamental piece in fighting information disorders.
7. Personally I would add that emotion and connection is essential, and that #disinformation can be more efficiently tackled with counter narratives that encompass citizenship identities.
8. People who have lost trust in institutions and feel they need to be active should be part of the solution. And that will only be possible with policies that involve and build bridges with those who believe in #disinformation by giving them a sense of belonging in our society.
9. Their anxieties and fears should be addressed and not downplayed or ridiculed.
10. Finally, algorithms are part of the problem but not the only fuel to #disinformation . Our #whatsapp research at @lcc_iul shows how unmoderated platforms can also become privileged places of #disinformation sharing, without the possibility to remove or flag this content.
