“In the digital era, the democratization of information has empowered millions worldwide, breaking down traditional barriers to access and sharing. Digital platforms have further amplified this freedom, allowing users to personalize and engage with content on an unprecedented scale. This shift has challenged the dominance of conventional news media, reducing their vulnerability to censorship and manipulation by oppressive regimes and special interests.
However, the unchecked proliferation of digital content has also enabled the spread of misinformation, disinformation, propaganda, and conspiracy theories on a massive scale. The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and chatbots has exponentially increased the reach and influence of these harmful narratives, posing significant threats to informed decision-making, social cohesion, and democratic values.
