Hello everyone, MEP Marcel Kolaja and Wikimedia Europe <http://wikimedia-europe.eu> have the pleasure to invite you to a discussion:
A Citizens' Struggle: combatting disinformation by self-organised online communities. Perspectives from Ukraine and Czech Republic December 1st at 12:00 at the European Parliament -- room ASP 5E1 Wikipedia is the only top 10 website in the world where content is entirely maintained by a community. It is also an important source of facts and knowledge about any major global development. Communities of editors and contributors put care and effort in ensuring that the information presented is true, factual and well documented also under rapidly evolving circumstances. What are the key mechanisms for transparency and good collective enforcement of rules? How does community governance manage risks of disinformation? Anton Protsiuk and Mykola Kozlenko from Wikimedia Ukraine and Klára Joklová from Wikimedia Czech Republic will present cases and stories illustrating these efforts around articles, imagery and conversations between editors.Rebecca MacKinnon, the Wikimedia Foundation’s VP for Global Advocacy, will give a broader overview of how the foundation supports volunteers in fighting disinformation as well as insights on how policymakers can best support the Wikimedia movement and other free knowledge communities in countering disinformation. -- Anna Mazgal Senior EU Policy Advisor Wikimedia http://wikimedia.brussels @a2na mobile: +32 487 222 945 12 Rue Belliard BE-1040 Brussels -- Anna Mazgal Senior EU Policy Advisor Wikimedia http://wikimedia.brussels @a2na mobile: +32 487 222 945 12 Rue Belliard BE-1040 Brussels -- Wikimedia Belgium vzw BE 0563.775.480 - RPR Brussel Antwerpselaan 40 Boulevard d’Anvers 1000 Brussel/Bruxelles www.wikimedia.be <https://www.wikimedia.be/> [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
