Planned censorship

Mozilla has signed the European Commission’s Code of Practice on Disinformation and is "investing in tools to fight this problem".[2]

Katharina Borchert, Chief Innovation Officer, mused on how to implement this:

If you can attach flags to articles or to searches, or if you can attach fact-checking to certain articles, how do you present that in a way that people don’t feel like somebody is preaching at them, or wagging a finger saying, hey, your perception of reality is wrong here?[3]

Mozilla has been partners from the very beginning in the CUNY News Integrity Initiative alongside the Knight Foundation and Google and Facebook.[4] Mozilla is a sponsor of Misinfocon, a "global movement focused on building solutions to online trust, verification, and fact checking[5].
