Misinformation about Migration in Greece

Combating misinformation: the importance of human judgement
Limiting or even stopping misinformation from spreading is a concern that is currently challenging social media platforms, media players and citizens in general. Distinguishing facts from fiction, though, is not always a deterministic task.
Misinformation and elections: what is at stake?
One month ahead of the elections to the European Parliament: are the EU and its member States able to ensure an informed pre-election campaign and ready to prevent the challenges of misinformation and propaganda on social media?
Fixing misinformation for the sake of democracy
You are what you eat, as they say. Just as too much junk food can lead to obesity, an overload of junk information can lead to a lack of trust in democratic institutions. So how do we ensure that the information we consume on the Internet every day is accurate and from reliable sources?
The language of ‘fake news’. How and why does it work?
Language is a flexible and dynamic tool for communication. And like any other tool, when misused, language can become a dangerous weapon.
Why do people trust emotions more than facts?
Monitoring the dissemination of facts, and the creation of facts by each other in society is without a doubt crucial for the prevention of misinformation. However, we must also understand the human role in wanting to believe and spread misinformation: it is only natural to seek the affirmation of beliefs.
