The DRI Center for Law and Public Policy’s latest white paper, written by members of its Data Privacy and Protection Working Group, was prepared to provide examples of recent campaigns to spread misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation (MDM), which the World Economic Forum selected as the most severe short-term risk the world faces in 2024. The paper explains why these risks should be on the radar of DRI members; provides insights into how MDM campaigns work; gives examples of actions being taken by countries around the globe to confront this risk; and provides recommendations on actions that DRI members, their clients, and others can take to combat MDM risks in the 2024 elections and beyond.
