Scientists explain how targeted Disinformation can be detected and stopped
In the policy paper series of the research group "Forum Privatheit", scientists from the interdisciplinary research project DORIAN publish a paper that explains how disinformation can be detected and contained. CRISP scientist Dr. Michael Kreutzer, Fraunhofer SIT, is one of the authors of the paper.
The paper first explains what disinformation is all about: "Disinformation is a publication that is proven to be de facto false or misleading, and that appears to be intentionaly manipulatively shared, and semi to fully automatic distributed." The authors also provide practical information and suggestions that citizens, media and online operators, as well as politicians and legislators, can use to make their contribution to maintaining a fair culture of discussion and stabilizing democracy.
