| Abstract [eng] |
Increasing use of social media has brought the emergence of disinformation. Both national and international authorities responded with regulatory solutions to protect the people from its adverse effect. However, coming up for an effective remedy while avoiding interference with freedom of expression provides a great challenge. This study approaches the notion of disinformation from a human rights perspective and focuses on national and international policies to define, monitor and respond. It discloses types of regulatory responses with limitations of freedom of expression and identifies the importance of a universal definition for an effective and fair regulation. |
