GOVSI Podcast: No Democracy Without Reliable Information
Expert in media law Michael M. Epstein. | Author Government Communication Office
He emphasizes that reliable information is the foundation of democracy and points out the difference between disinformation (intentional deception) and misinformation. In the age of social media and artificial intelligence, he notes, it is becoming increasingly difficult to verify the credibility of information.
As a solution, he proposes the concept of information sovereignty – what matters is not only the content of information, but also its origin. He advises citizens to become critical and responsible consumers of information and to always verify sources, particularly before elections.
The episode offers key insights into one of the biggest challenges of modern society – how to protect democracy in an era of information chaos.
You are invited to listen to the conversation on all major podcast platforms and on the YouTube channel of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia.
