SUA, acuzate de presiuni asupra UE pentru a opri o dezbatere despre dezinformarea americană

Several European lawmakers have accused the U.S. of interfering in the European debate on disinformation after American diplomats contacted allies to contest the inclusion of the U.S. as a potential source of misinformation. Initially, Lithuania and other entities supported a conference by EU DisinfoLab, but withdrew support following U.S. intervention. The conference aimed to discuss whether the U.S. poses a threat to Europe through manipulation practices. Critics argue that this reflects a concerning subservience to U.S. pressure, while U.S. officials maintain that labeling the U.S. as a FIMI threat undermines shared objectives. The controversy highlights differing views between Washington and Brussels on defining and combating disinformation.
