S2 Episode 2: What if we immunised citizens from fake news?
Disinformation campaigns in Europe, whether driven by domestic or external actors, bring about harmful effects on the public debate, by disseminating distrust towards institutions and science. And with a massive vaccination campaign being currently rolled out, disinformation could be the Achilles heel of Europe. As the end of the Covid-19 pandemic is still surrounded by uncertainty and the capacity of European governments to effectively deal with the health crisis is put under strain by anti-vax movements, we must ask ourselves, what if… we immunised citizens from fake news? A conversation with Andrzej Potocki, Vice President of the Polish party Stronnictwo Demokratyczne and Peter Kréko, a social psychologist and Director of the “Political Capital Institute”, in Budapest.
