What can the EU do about online disinformation? How can it regulate Big Tech platforms? And how can it reclaim the digital space for the public good?
This TEPSA Animated Explainer, created in collaboration with the RECLAIM project, focuses on the EU’s efforts to regulate Big Tech and combat the spread of online disinformation. The video is based on the findings of the RECLAIM publication, “Reversing the Privatisation of the Public Sphere: Democratic Alternatives to the EU’s Regulation of Disinformation”, authored by Alvaro Oleart and Julia Rone.
A public-interest digital space is crucial to the functioning of liberal democracy. As part of the Horizon-funded “Reclaiming Liberal Democracy in the Post-Factual Age” (RECLAIM) project, a consortium of pan-European analysts and experts are investigating the impact of post-truth politics on liberal democracy in recent years and looking for ways to mitigate it.
