As we've stated, I'm not familiar with these specific examples. However, what we do know, from our work with young people and from work in the field, is that it is really important for authority figures, figures in whom people have trust, to be as truthful as they possibly can and to share good, factual information. That helps to build trust in democracy and trust in institutions. We know that if people with influence deliberately share misinformation or disinformation, that has more impact than if it came from elsewhere.
