Four women, four conversations about disinformation attacks and their devastating consequences for our society. Whether in politics, science, or the media, our interviewees highlight the dangers of disinformation, the absence of systemic safeguards for victims of such attacks, and the negative impact these assaults have on both individuals and society at large.
Through these conversations, we expose how disinformation attacks unfold and emphasize strategies of informational self-defense, as well as the urgent need for stronger systemic protections.
