📆 Register now and join us on 13 May for the first module of the EDMO Training Series on #Identity‑Based #Disinformation! ❗️Disinformation targeted against #minorities and #migrants poses particular challenges and risks, not only because of its potential overlap with illegal categories of speech including #HateSpeech, but also for its potential to incite #discrimination and at times real world #violence. The first module of EDMO’s training series on identity-based disinformation aims to provide an overview of some of the main trends, #narratives and techniques used by disinformation actors and networks when targeting minorities and migrants across #Europe. We're very much looking forward to hearing from – @lisaginsborg @STGEUI @EDMO_EUI – @kateklingova @GLOBSEC @EDMO_EUI – @jose_moreno @lcc_iul @iberifier – Eóin Young @ICPAdvocacy 👉 Learn more & save your spot: edmo.eu/training/edmo-…

Their goal: reaching #pedophiles to sell and exchange real #childpornography on services like #Telegram. @maldita has identified more than 5.200 AI-generated videos and 3.600 videos of real minors – and explains how TikTok profits from all of this.
