Misinformation – Thematic Research
Powered by
All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
Regulators and policy-makers disagree on how to tackle misinformation, but there has never been a broader consensus that something must be done. The US elections and the COVID-19 pandemic have given this issue more urgency and pushed online platforms to self-regulate in a way that has never seen before, particularly around political advertising. We do not believe that these attempts will appease regulators and expect Big Tech to be increasingly held responsible for what they publish.

Key Highlights
Increasingly, society is blaming Big Tech companies for allowing the proliferation of false narratives spread by humans and bots on the web. They stand accused of distorting the information we consume in ways that are bad for us both individually and collectively. Four years after Russia’s alleged interference in the 2016 US presidential election, fake news is still a major concern, and social media companies have failed in their attempts to banish it.
