Don't normalise disinformation

By Economic Times - 9 months ago
The World Economic Forum's 2024 Global Risk Report highlights misinformation or disinformation as a significant threat in the context of elections. With elections scheduled in at least 64 countries, including India, this year, the report warns that false information could destabilize the legitimacy of newly elected governments, leading to political unrest, violence, terrorism, and a longer-term erosion of democratic processes. India's strong digital infrastructure and widespread internet penetration exacerbate the risk, along with an education system that lacks emphasis on critical thinking.
