Wojciech Przybylski spoke with Alex Alaphilippe, Executive Director of the EU DisinfoLab, about methods of fighting disinformation and the influence money has in how the Internet is developing.
The following is an abridged version of the discussion.
I assume that there will be disinformation activities, but – as always – their influence will be very difficult to assess. This is especially true for the European elections because we will be witnessing 28 … separate elections, and in each case, we will have to deal with different attitudes and mentality.
It is difficult to predict, especially because disinformation is constantly evolving. However, we must be ready, careful and watchful for what will happen; importantly, we also need to be able to cooperate at the international level. When we realise that there are cases of disinformation, we will have to act together to defend ourselves against them.
