Hur sårbara är våra demokratiska val för utländsk påverkan? Och hur förbereder sig myndigheter, EU och digitala plattformar för att förebygga och hantera desinformation, informationsoperationer och AI-driven manipulation inför höstens riksdagsval? Den 22 april kl 12.30 - 13.45 diskuterar vi riskerna för valpåverkan i digitala miljöer och hur lagstiftning som EU:s Digital Services Act ska bidra till att stärka valintegriteten.
