THE SITUATION IN ROMANIA
Panel workshop on the annulation of the presidential election by the Supreme Court due to a disinformation operation on social media.
Online Workshop
18th December 2024 | 12am - 1pm CET
Join us for an urgent panel workshop as we discuss the recent developments in Romania, where the Supreme Court has annulled the first round of the presidential election. This unprecedented action comes in response to warnings from security services about alleged Russian influence in the political campaign of ultranationalist candidate Călin Georgescu, reportedly facilitated through a disinformation operation on the social network TikTok.
To unpack these critical events, DRAILS is pleased to present a panel featuring three esteemed members:
- Dr. Diana Mocanu (University of Helsinki) : expert in legal issues surrounding AI and a Romanian citizen
- Jean De Meyere (KU Leuven/UCLouvain): pursuing a PhD on online platform governance and disinformation
- Clément Maertens (UCLouvain) : researcher on political disinformation through the lens of media and AI
During the workshop, our panelists will provide a factual overview of the situation and explore how legislation, including the latest European instruments such as the Digital Services Act (DSA), is poised to respond.
As always, we encourage audience participation, ensuring an engaging and insightful dialogue with our speakers!
