The President emphasized that greater attention is needed from users, as well as stricter regulation to protect the accuracy of information circulating on the internet.
The event in Bucharest brought together experts and officials who discussed how democratic values can be protected in the digital age. The message conveyed was clear: technology must serve citizens, not become a tool for disinformation that affects people's trust in state institutions.
In conclusion, the President's warning underscores the need for digital education for all Romanians. In a world where technology is advancing rapidly, the ability to verify news sources is becoming an essential skill for maintaining the health of democracy in Romania.
