Information & Ethics committee Thank you. Ms. Weintraub, I have a question for you. Disinformation is officially part of Russia's military doctrine. It has been so for some time already. They are using it as a strategy to divide the west, basically. It is also known that Russia uses 1.1 billion euros per ye

Information & Ethics committee We just had elections in Europe, the European parliamentary elections. Do you see anything we went through that could be used to prepare for your next election? How closely do you co-operate with European colleagues?

Keit Pentus-Rosimannus
Information & Ethics committee Thank you. It has been pointed out that the disinformation phenomenon is becoming more complex and cross-channel or cross-platforms, meaning that the different phases or different stages of the disinformation campaigns happen often on different channels.

Information & Ethics committee Thank you. I come from Europe, from Estonia. It is true that, two days after the European election, one can say that you actually have made progress in removing the fake accounts, but it is also true that those fake accounts should not have been there in the first place.

Keit Pentus-Rosimannus
Information & Ethics committee All right. Thank you. My second question will be about fake news or fake videos. What is your policy towards fake news, for example, deepfake? Will they be removed or will they just be marked as deepfake videos?

Keit Pentus-Rosimannus
Information & Ethics committee My last question will come back to what Mr. Collins asked in the beginning, about the fake video of Nancy Pelosi. Let's say a similar video were to appear, only the person there was Mr. Zuckerberg. Would that video be taken down, or just marked as a fake one?
May 28th, 2019Committee meeting
Keit Pentus-Rosimannus
Information & Ethics committee Sorry for the loud laughter. If a video similar to what has been airing, picturing Nancy Pelosi, appeared with Mark Zuckerberg, would you remove that fake video, or would you just mark it as fake news?

Keit Pentus-Rosimannus
Information & Ethics committee Thank you. Disinformation campaigns have really been part of Estonia's big neighbour's wonderful methodology for ages. Russia's hybrid warfare has already been there for a long time. I would say that everything that helps to destabilize or distract the societies will be used and
