Global Law on Online Disinformation Content

Global internet law is evolving and fragmenting.

It is eroding trust in the institutions of the state.

This report, the third in our series, provides Trust & Safety teams with an overview of the relevant legislation in almost 70 countries that direct the handling of false online information and the networks that propel it.
