Social networking sites have been overflowing with disinformation in recent years, and it is no longer easy to identify the truth. Disinformation is also fueling conflicts and shaking up democratic society itself. How can we protect our society from disinformation? This intensive seminar invites leading experts in the field of countermeasures against disinformation from Japan and abroad to provide participants with an opportunity to learn about the current state of disinformation, methods of analysis and countermeasures, and to experience first-hand countermeasures against disinformation themselves.
