Online mis- and disinformation has emerged as one of the most pressing societal challenges, with the potential to undermine trust in elections and deepen social polarization. This session will provide an overview of the current state of play and emerging trends, the mechanisms by which misleading content is propagated online, and the policy responses deployed around the world. It will bring together experts from civil society, the private sector, the media and the technology community to discuss successful approaches to building a healthy information ecosystem, as well as effective legislative responses.
