Last week, we had the pleasure to attend EU DisinfoLabโs 2023 conference. The event remained a must to anyone looking to stay ahead of the game in the fight against disinformation. #Disinfo2023
What stuck with us? Here are 10 thoughts we gathered on the way home. checkfirst.network/10-key-takea...
In his inspiring speech, Imran Ahmed, founder and CEO of the Center for Countering Digital Hate shared why we all must keep the faith in combatting #disinformation.
"The stakes are high [...]
Our work is vital."
A lot of ๐.

How to avoid the "patchwork" implementation of the #DSA in the EU countries? "It's subsidiarity. In that context that is necessary." #Disinfo2023
๐ช๐บTime for regulatory updates on the European Media Freedom Act (#EMFA), the implementation of the Digital Services Act (#DSA), the Code of Practice, and other ongoing EU regulatory and policy initiatives. And to write letters to Santa ๐ ๐ผ #Disinfo2023
Objectivity as a universal right. "Delving into the science war debate can help us face tomorrow's challenges. There is a history of how the quality of information is defined, and this definition serves a purpose." @theolenoir.bsky.social #Disinfo2023
What does it mean to accept that in journalism, yes you have objective facts and yes they are one sided? @theolenoir.bsky.social #Disinfo2023
L. Hundley #Meta about #MediaExemption. "Content can go viral quickly. If it violates our ToS we should be able to take it down quickly. Its not about who posts it, it's about what's in it[...] Article 17 #EMFA is not good for the security and safety of our platform" #Disinfo2023
This afternoon in Krakow we look at disinformation from a different angle. How is Meta addressing media capture by authoritarian states? Why should we consider the DSA only from a European perspective and not look beyond?

Francesca Arcostanzo (ISD) on the impact of sanctions against Russian state media: "they were overall effective in reducing traffic from the countries that applied the sanctions". But we need to keep in mind that sanctioned content can easily be recreated and spread [...].

Insightful panel discussion at #Disinfo2023 โก๏ธ "18 months of sanctions against Russian disinformation actors, what's the impact".
๐จ๏ธ "We observed a rise of Africa-related news on RT", says Maxime Audinet (IRSEM).
Best practices for #OSINT investigations, where to find them and how to apply them. Mattia Caniglia presents ObSINT guidelines. Very proud to have helped designing these guidelines for the community. Give us your feedback obsint.eu #Disinfo2023 @dfrlab.bsky.social
A special mention (thank you ๐) for CrossOver our project within which we monitor recommendation algorithms of social media platforms and collect data through APIs (when existing) and by simulating a user on small computers we place in volunteers home #Disinfo2023 crossover.social
On #TikTok's researchers APIs terms of service, researchers have to submit a project for approval. "If you tell the person you're going to watch that you're going to watch them and on which points it raises ethics auditions" @MarcFaddoul #Disinfo2023
Marc Faddoul exposes what is so special about #Tiktok: number of data points that can be measured is important, feeding an #algorithm. Recommendation algorithms are not tailored for users interest and can be manipulated. Thats why we need to audit them. The #DSA acknowledge the issue #Disinfo2023
"[...] We found out that people were very eager to say that it was false."

The Kill Chain is modular, all the links are not always there and it can be adapted. It works for human to human operations, not machine. The idea behind the Kill Chain is to break the silos and speak the same language when it comes to #InfluenceOps #Disinfo2023
โจ Day 2 here at #Disinfo2023 in Krakow! Ines Narciso (VOST Europe) gives an inspiring keynote on how #disinformation was identified and debunked by citizens on WhatsApp in Portugal.
@Meta identifies phases of an online operation which all present vulnerabilities allowing actors to act against malicious actors. #Disinfo2023
Day 2 in #Krakow and so many interesting panels this morning at #Disinfo2023. Let's start with Ben Nimmo's (Meta) Presentation: Designing an Online Operations Kill Chain.

"We need to systematise research on information environment. We can't pinpoint #disinformation, #AI, etc ... Our current state of research is a nightmare for policy makers. We need to start studying the information environment as a system." Alicia Wanless #Disinfo2023

"Fox News irrevocably changed my life" says Nina Jankowicz.

"There is a need for us here to work as a community. The tools we build are similar to those the others in the community build because we all deal with the same issue. If we can do it with open source tools, it can benefit the entire community." @kbontcheva #disinfo2023
The stakes for research are higher. We need to be thinking about setting legal defense funds, set up communication, get ready because its not going to get better." #Disinfo2023
