On Tuesday, 19 May 2026, at 14:30-15:30 CEST (12:30-13:30 UTC), EU DisinfoLab hosts a webinar ‘Ethics in the fight against disinformation: from theory to practice‘. Efforts to counter disinformation often involve difficult ethical trade-offs. Measures such as content moderation, fact-checking, and the use of OSINT can help address harmful manipulation, but they also raise questions around transparency, proportionality, accountability, and unintended consequences. As new investigative methods emerge and concepts such as transparency are increasingly instrumentalised by authoritarian actors, these dilemmas become even more urgent.
