The MSI-INF will prepare a draft guidance note on “countering the spread of online mis- and disinformation through fact-checking and platform design solutions in a human rights compliant manner”.
Ronan Fahy, a researcher at the DTDM, is an independent expert in the MSI-INF Committee. He has now been appointed as a drafting rapporteur for the Committee’s guidance note. A draft of the guidance note is scheduled to be finalised by the end of 2023.
