Balancing Act: Countering Digital Disinformation while respecting Freedom of Expression

The Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development, co-founded by UNESCO and ITU, has launched a comprehensive new research study on one of the world's most difficult challenges: ‘Balancing Act: Countering Digital Disinformation while respecting Freedom of Expression’. The book is published in the context of the Commission’s 10th Anniversary. A clear and evidence-based message of this report is that we should unite our work to combat disinformation with actions to advance freedom of expression. The study is unique in its global scale and comprehensiveness, with a suite of sector-specific actionable recommendations, and a bibliography of 700 citations. The book-length report was compiled by a consortium of seven international researchers and reviewed and endorsed by leading external experts from five continents.
