Media & Information Literacy: An Avenue for Youth to Combat Hate Speech, Misinformation & Disinformation (UNESCO)

During the discussion phase of the panel, participants expressed interest in learning more about media ethics and how to better regulate their content online to avoid spreading hate speech, misinformation and disinformation. Participants were interested in ways of verifying and fact-checking information to which panelists gave tips and suggested contacting the source directly. They were also informed of the access to information law which makes it easier for them to request verifiable information, especially from the government.
