Co-opting groups for a censorship mechanism.

The European Digital Media Observatory (EDMO), which gets money from the European Union and describes itself as a hub for fact-checkers, academics, and other stakeholders, has come out with recommendations for expanding what it calls a “whole-of-society” way of combating “disinformation.”

If EDMO has its way, media literacy experts, fact-checkers, academics, journalists, policy-makers, the finance sector, and regulators that are already involved will get some interesting new companions.

A post penned by EDMO Secretary-General and Coordinator Paula Gori makes it clear that the idea is not to stop with the current participants in “the hub,” and instead also try to bring in the financial sector.
