Abstract

Digital political campaigning can pose serious risks for citizens and democracies, such as fuelling discussions that are not grounded in fact, polarised public views, and a lack of transparency from political and non-political organisations. Gabriela Borz and her colleagues at Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania and University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland recently set out to identify the risks of digital political campaigning and explore the effectiveness of one EU soft regulation designed to tackle associated disinformation. Their findings suggest that the EU’s strengthened code of practice on disinformation is fostering constructive dialogue between institutions and global digital platforms.
