๐จ Cutting #AgoraEU weakens #Europe on three fronts.
1๏ธโฃ It thins out the information ecosystem on which democratic #resilience depends.
2๏ธโฃ It makes Europeโs own digital rules harder to enforce.
3๏ธโฃ And it reduces the civilian capacity to detect + counter #disinformation and foreign interference, running counter what @Europarl_EN has just called for and @EU_Commission committed to in its European #DemocracyShield.

ALT EDMO STATEMENT: Europeโs Digital Rules Depend on a Healthy Information Ecosystem The proposed cut to AgoraEU saves a fraction of a percent of the EU budget. But it weakens the journalism, research, media literacy and civil society that make democracy resilient, and on which the enforcement of Europeโs digital rules depends.

According to viral claims, Ukrainian strikes on Russian data centres led to a steep decline in online #disinformation and reduced engagement w/ pro-Russian + far-right #propaganda in Europe.
At EDMO, we immediately contacted #factchecking organisations in our network to ask whether, based on their monitoring of their respective information spaces, there was any evidence confirming or disproving the story.

๐จ This session moves from the concept of #medialiteracy as an educational practice to its implementation as a #design layer within digital products and platform infrastructures. It focuses on how #criticalthinking, #transparency, and #misinformation resilience can be embedded directly into user journeys across #socialmedia, #searchengines, video platforms, #messaging systems, and #gaming environments.
