🚨 MEP Feidias Panagiotou’s podcast is under fire for spreading misleading claims about the Russia-Ukraine war, including framing it as a “civil war” instead of an invasion. Our latest report breaks down the most troubling statements. 👇

More from our discussion about whether AI-generated disinformation really is a threat to elections and democracy.
@MEDDMOhub @TheTimesofMalta
🌐 In the margins of the #WarsawHDC, @OSCE24MT, @osce_odihr, & @OSCE_RFoM co-organized a side event titled Preserving Democracy, Fighting Disinformation: AI-Generated Disinformation in the Context of Elections.
📍 Digital technologies can enhance democratic processes, but they also accelerate the spread of disinformation. In this important election year, access to accurate, diverse information is vital for informed decision-making.
📍 With AI-generated disinformation on the rise, public trust & fair competition are increasingly at risk. Recent incidents, like deepfakes & #AI-driven disinformation, highlight the danger to electoral integrity, media trust, & societal cohesion 🗳️
🇲🇹 #Malta’s @OSCE Chairpersonship emphasizes the critical role of #MediaFreedom & #MediaLiteracy in safeguarding #democracy.
🙏 Our sincere thanks to all participants & panelists for their valuable contributions to this important discussion.
#StrengtheningResilience #EnhancingSecurity
Discussing the work carried out by @TheTimesofMalta and @MEDDMOhub to combat disinformation in Malta.
Jointly with @osce_odihr & @OSCE24MT we hosted discussions on preserving democracy & fighting #disinformation. AI-generated disinfo can undermine the integrity of information, elections & democratic processes. We should combat it while promoting free speech & #MediaFreedom.
Hi @satofishi, I'm a journalist with Times of Malta, I'm trying to get in touch with you re. your upcoming SpaceX mission.
Is there anywhere I contact you privately to discuss this? Thanks.

Insights from my recent work with @MEDDMOhub and @ellinikahoaxes, where I analyzed disinformation campaigns targeting refugees and migrants.
A recent report by @ellinikahoaxes, part of an ongoing series uncovering #disinformation narratives across #Greece, #Cyprus, and #Malta since December 2022, reveals how far-right groups have manipulated out-of-context video footage to spread disinformation about migrant border crossings in Greece, fueling tensions and spreading fear.

Made it through an election campaign receiving zero cold calls or texts and just one house visit (from a local council candidate).
Whatever the outcome, I'm one of the election's winners.
