Roundtable
Securing our democratic informational environment
The advent of participative web technologies has profoundly affected people's behavior within the informational sphere, to the point of extreme polarization and lasting damage to the serenity of public debate. Furthermore, the exponential flow of disinformation and other content considered harmful shakes the very regime of truth within democratic societies. While public authorities around the world are increasingly taking up this issue by introducing often controversial regulations, the challenge of implementing such initiatives in a concrete, effective and balanced manner remains largely untouched. This roundtable will highlight and discuss a number of innovative solutions for securing the democratic information space, gathering in particular project leaders selected as part of PPF's 2023 Call for Solutions.
