In this episode our media experts discuss the regulatory responses to disinformation, censorship and cyberattacks during Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
In particular, the episode covers the EU’s rapid response to disinformation on the invasion of Ukraine spread by Russian controlled media and the acceleration of censorship in Russia. We also address responses in the US to cybersecurity threats and the provision of US tech products and services to Russia.
It addresses questions such as:
- Are there side effects on banning Russia Today in Europe?
- Will the so-called ‘Tik-Tok war’ trigger broader legislative actions on foreign disinformation?
- What could be the impact on the current debates on platform regulation?
- What is the US doing to intensify its defence against possible cyberattacks on its communications infrastructure?
