Busting Russia’s fake news the European Union way

Overview

"Europeans have something to teach the United States about how to protect citizens subject to Russian internet propaganda."

Why is this important?

"It may seem odd to propose that the government run its own campaign to clarify what is real and fake online. But I believe it is necessary in an era where individuals may not be able to fully separate fact from fiction, and legitimate news sources from the disreputable. An effort like this is not government censorship of the news – or even of fake news. It is government fighting false information by providing context, analysis and facts."
