Who Decides What Counts as Disinformation in the EU?
- jruohonen 3y agoUnlike the author, I consider the for-profit NewsGuard highly problematic due to its deep entanglement with Big Tech's web. Like the author, I agree that it is problematic that the arms of states still reach the decisions particularly through the GDI. Both are unaccountable and non-transparent to the public. Of all organizations listed by the author, EDMO does the best in this regard. I also agree that the Commission has once again outsourced the difficult questions to companies and associations that are located outside of the EU. Given that disinformation has recently become a highly politicized topic in the US, expect similar problems also in Europe.

Fact checkers are an intellectual capitulation. Money that should be spend bolstering education. Even with journalism being in a bad market position, fact checker do not improve anything here.
