Pieter van Boheemen, director of Post-X Society, co-director of Democratie Monitor, and researcher at the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, warns of a blind spot in our understanding of disinformation. While research often focusses on static social media, the battle is shifting to live-streams, gaming platforms, story features, and podcasts. For those seeking to undermine our democracy, these environments are powerful new weapons.
Following the shock of the presidential elections in Romania, Van Boheemen is working on concrete solutions: social media monitoring for upcoming elections and resilience frameworks for municipalities. During this lecture, he shares practical insights and shows how we can move from analysis to action.
