Disinformation is widely regarded today as a major challenge for democratic societies. Yet efforts to address it inevitably raise ethical, political, and communication questions, including the risk of generating unintended consequences.

On October 28th, this workshop brings together ethical thinkers and practitioners to reflect on concerns that often remain implicit in our everyday practices and policies of disinformation mitigation. By convening researchers, practitioners, educators, journalists, and policy makers, the event aims to foster critical dialogue and to identify practices that balance effectiveness with ethical responsibility.

This workshop is an initiative of EDMO BELUX 2.0, a multidisciplinary hub that brings together academics, fact-checkers, disinformation analysts, and media literacy organizations to monitor, analyse, and contribute to the mitigation of disinformation in Belgium and Luxembourg.

As part of the workshop, the ULIDE team is organizing a panel discussion on the topic of “Politicization of Fact-Checking”.
