IWM supports initiative against disinformation

Disinformation threatens democratic processes. This is because it undermines trust in democratic institutions, fuels social division and influences the formation of public opinion.

With its Upgrade Democracy project, the Bertelsmann Stiftung has published an open letter to the new German government with five key recommendations for strengthening disinformation monitoring in the digital space. The IWM supports this initiative.
