Watch the replay of the session, in which we break down the findings – which fact-checking sources are cited most often, how quickly the notes appear alongside posts, and how likely they are to be shown.

Speaker:

With a background in international relations, I focus on EU’s digital policies, such as the
Digital Services Act or the AI Act, by conducting analytical research and exchanging insights
and best practices with stakeholders ranging from big tech companies to public authorities
and civil society as a way to collectively counter disinformation.
