Consiliera lui Nicușor Dan pentru combaterea dezinformării a ajuns subiect de fake news: „Studiu de caz: Hello Kitty”

Martina Orlea, advisor to Nicușor Dan on misinformation, became a target of fake news after a photo misidentification. A viral post incorrectly associated her with an image of a prosecutor, leading to misogynistic comments. Orlea emphasized the deliberate spread of false information and its mechanisms, which can affect various topics. Despite reporting the misinformation to social media, it remained visible. She highlighted that the intent was to undermine the president by attacking his advisors. Orlea co-founded a project aimed at increasing public resilience to misinformation and has extensive experience in political communication.
