ITU and the office of the UN Under Secretary-General Fabrizio Hochschild are co-organizing a series of webinars on digital cooperation in response to COVID-19. I’ve been participating with Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The webinar series has focused on how to secure safe, stable, affordable, and inclusive connectivity in this time of crisis and aimed to help identify possible solutions and common approaches and strategies from different nations and stakeholders.
One of the most interesting webinars was the one related to the misinformation and disinformation during COVID 19. One of the highlights was that even though we can use automation to fight disinformation, we also need to be aware that the mistakes that it can make (i.e content governance decisions ), and how those decisions can affect your rights.
