EU DisinfoLab webinar: Elections at risk? Disinformation campaigns observed in Romania and the role of the DSA in risk mitigation

Alexandre Alaphilippe from the EU DisinfoLab will be joined by Victor Ilie (freelance investigative journalist, Snoop.ro) and Madalina Botan (Scoala Nationala de Studii Politice si Administrative (SNSPA) & BRODhub) for this webinar. They will discuss the organised disinformation campaigns that targeted the Romanian social media space in the run-up to last November’s presidential election, leading to its annulment.

Victor Ilie brought his expertise to our research note: Meta’s Role in Romania’s 2024 Presidential Election along with Reset Tech, EU DisinfoLab and independent journalist Luiza Vasiliu. You can read our work here.
