I'll switch over to Mr. Salvo now.
Based on the conversations I've heard so far during the study—and even today from Ai-Men Lau, who has talked about crowdsourcing of fact-checking—we know that on platforms like X, for example, there can be community notes in which information is fact-checked. We have organizations like Snopes and others like the IFCN, with all of these people.
I think the real issue here is that disinformation by foreign state actors or their purposeful spread of misinformation—or even spreading it with ill intent—is a real and present thing. Somebody at a previous meeting asked what would happen if we got rid of the “like” button. However, instead of getting rid of the “like” button, maybe we should have a way for people to click on something and readily fact check it a little more prevalently than is now done on these media. There are lots of ways. AI can be used to do this. There are crowdsourcing organizations.
Is this a better way to build resilience? How would this work? What does your organization think of those kinds of notions?
