HIFA Blog: Month in Review, July/August 2020 - “Simply getting people online will NOT solve the world's information problems”

9 September, 2020

Quote of the month: “WHO's new public information video to combat the infodemic concludes with the message: 'Spend less time online'. This is a resounding recognition of the fact that simply getting people online will NOT solve the world's information problems. Far from it: connectivity gives fuel to misinformation.” Neil Pakenham-Walsh, HIFA Coordinator
