Description
Summary:This paper presents the highlights from the Boundaries of Disinformation workshop held at Chalmers University of Technology. It addresses the phenomenon of disinformation—its historical and current forms. Digitalization and hyperconnectivity have been identified as leading contemporary sources of disinformation. In the effort to counteract disinformation globally, diverse strategies have been proposed.

The important aspect of the solution is that the debate about adequate and truthful information, as opposed to disinformation, involves stakeholders.
