1⃣ Areas where the law is clear, but doesn't have an enforcement pathway;
2⃣Areas where the spirit of the law is clear, but the letter of the law needs to be updated to cover online dialogue;
3⃣Areas where it is not clear what the law should be - where technology means a new line needs to be drawn to ensure both freedom of speech and free and fair elections;
Really enjoyed talking through the intersection between deepfakes and election law as part of the new Disinformation APPG yesterday in Westminster. Where in the information space do we have these challenges? And what existing tools (enforcement bodies, legislation, platform accountability) can be leveraged?
