Challenges of Election Interference

Efforts to combat election interference, including discussing threats like disinformation and AI-generated deepfakes, were emphasized during the Democracy Tour across EU member states. Platforms play a significant role in removing or addressing fake content that could mislead voters. Aside from the responsibility of platforms, addressing cyber attacks, corruption, and threats from actors like Russia, China, and Iran are crucial. Ensuring free and fair elections involves fact-checking, involving independent media, public service media, and volunteers.
