New Centre in Poland to Fight Disinformation More Actively
Published
Poland has a new Centre for Countering Disinformation (CWD). According to one official, the centre should not only react to false information that appears in the public space. It should also take offensive action, meaning actively counter these false narratives.
Reacting means responding to untrue content that has already spread. An offensive approach means that the institution acts on its own initiative. It may, for example, warn citizens in advance or present verified facts before false messages gain wide popularity.
Disinformation is the deliberate spread of false or misleading information. This problem affects many countries around the world, including Poland. It can influence people's opinions, trust in institutions and public debate, which is why many governments are looking for effective ways to counter it.
The available material does not yet provide details about the specific actions or tasks of the new centre. It is worth following further information to find out how the CWD will carry out its tasks in practice.
