The VUB joint research into options for better regulation of disinformation has just been published in the Computer Law & Security Review, based on both a report for the European Parliament and a Guidebook for the Commonwealth.

Participants are drawn from the following stakeholder groups: European Parliament; European Commission; EDPS; national regulators; Platforms; Telcos; Content providers; Consumer representatives; Digital NGOs; Think tanks; Technical experts; Lawyers with policy influence.

The workshop is one of a series of four that will shape these recommendations for a final evidence-based policy report:

The workshops are funded by the Research England-Sussex Priorities Fund evidence based policy-making call.
