Ms Vra Jourov?:

I also had an interesting debate here with Twitter about truth and lies. Yesterday, I was at its headquarters and this morning we saw the journalists and the experts working under the European Observatory structure, who are the fact-checkers. We discussed the influence of Russian aggression in Ukraine on the overall feeling in Europe and our positioning towards truth and lie and Russian propaganda. It was interesting to hear both the journalists but also the managers of Twitter talk about how the situation is newly bringing additional demands to fact-check and deliver the facts to the people. In the country that hosts 52,000 refugees, which I thank Ireland for, it may be especially important that citizens get trustworthy information about the war and are not brainwashed by Russian propaganda. Russians are masters in that. They have been improving the method of how to brainwash people since Stalin. It was interesting to hear how disinformation is being tackled here.
