The Impact of Disinformation on U.S. Elections: Insights From a European Perspective

As the 2024 U.S. presidential election unfolds, disinformation campaigns are once again in the spotlight. But while much attention is focused on the U.S. domestic impact, it’s equally important to understand this phenomenon from a wider perspective. Europe’s own encounters with foreign-led disinformation offer crucial lessons and comparisons that highlight the challenges faced by democratic societies globally in an era when the line between reality and AI-generated fakes is more blurry than ever. As someone deeply involved in the study of disinformation and its socio-political impacts, I draw upon experience from other countries to shed light on the dangers posed by disinformation in the current U.S. presidential elections.
