On Wednesday, I had the honor of representing FORTITUDE as a guest speaker at the Aspen Institute Germany’s #InfluencersAgainstDisinfo Speakers’ Dinner. During the event, I addressed the question: What elements should be part of an organization’s environment capable of protecting against disinformation campaigns? Drawing on my experience working with companies, NGOs, and business associations, I emphasized three key aspects in my response: 🎯 Infrastructure & Processes 🎯 People & Skills (especially for effective Counterspeech that resonates with target groups) 🎯 Technology & Tools (not only to enhance quality but also to scale the quantity of Counterspeech content) What impressed me most that evening was the exchange of insights and perspectives on the fight against disinformation—from think tanks to influencers—spanning across the globe, from the US to Ukraine. The urgency of these discussions cannot be overstated. A big thank you to the Aspen Institute and all the participants!
Day 1 of the #InfluencersAgainstDisinfo #BerlinStudyTrip has concluded! We are making progress on the #EthicalCodeofConduct for Content Creators/Influencers and our discussions over dinner brought together diverse perspectives thanks to guest speakers TikTok’s Melanie Ohnemus, Auswärtiges Amt (Federal Foreign Office) Germany’s Swantje Kortemeyer, and @FORTITUDE's Linus Siebert. Tomorrow, we’ll be visiting the Meta Berlin office and meeting with German MP Tobias B. Bacherle to dive into the current strategies for tackling disinformation. Stay tuned for more insights! 📲
