Activities
Main EU Legislative Proposals: The Global Disinformation Index is tracking and supporting EU commitments to combat disinformation as outlined in the EU Code of Practice on Disinformation and the Digital Services Act. GDI is also working on tackling foreign disinformation, information manipulation and interference and on strengthening its strategic communication at a global policy level. In 2024 we will be focusing our work on the following areas:
Digital Services act relating to transparency obligations for online platforms in respect of online advertising
Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference
Defence of Democracy Package
Code of Practice on Disinformation
We have developed risk ratings of disinformation sites and mapped existing ad tech company policies on disinformation and related content policy (and examples of infringements) and believe this information will be a useful for policy makers as they consider necessary measures as part of the DSA, and Code of Practice on Disinformation.
Communication Activities: Participation in events and stakeholder workshops on disinformation. Publishing studies and investigations on disinformation, esp. in social media. As a data-driven organisation, research lies at the core of everything we do. We assess disinformation risk across the open web, study media markets around the world, catalogue brand safety incidents, measure advertising spend, identify policy interventions and more.
