The EU has published a video ahead of the European elections in which it calls on citizens to protect themselves from manipulation.
The new joint communication campaign of European Commission in collaboration with the European Regulators Group for Audiovisual Media Services (ERGA).
A short but comprehensive 30-second video provides basic advice so that European citizens do not fall victim to fake news spread over the internet, and to prevent its further transmission.
The video about the European elections and disinformation
In the video, with a persuasive speech and with the use of the necessary relevant graphics to visualize the speech, the services of EUcall on European citizens to remember a series of actions they should take when they are informed by the internet, in order to protect their choice during the European elections, as it is typically reported.
Specifically, according to iefimerida, they are asked to always remember:
- Think critically about what they read online
- Keep in mind that videos and audio files can be corrupted
- Be informed by more sources and trust only the reliable ones
- Do not share information of questionable reliability
The video concludes with the following prompt: “Your choices matter. Don’t allow yourself to be manipulated.”
