The Ministerial Advisory Commission against Disinformation of which our co-researcher Patricia Peña Miranda was part published its second and final report, which was also presented in a seminar at the National Congress. In the report, experts convened by MinCiencia and the Government Spokesmanship propose 73 measures of various nature to face this phenomenon’s complexity on social media. They stress the importance of maintaining an open civic space and declare that their work was based on nine principles to guarantee that the proposed recommendations protect fundamental rights and strengthen democracy.
In the same vein, our researcher was invited by Universidad de Santiago (USACH) to participate in the commemoration of the 2024 International Women’s Day, which prompted “an act of reflection on gender disinformation and censorship, artificial intelligence and gender, and women’s rights in times of crisis”. After a keynote speech by Minister Aysén Etcheverry Escudero, our researcher was part of the “Gender Disinformation: Women’s Rights in Times of Crisis” panel with the head of the RD Valparaiso Region Gender Unit, former student leader and 8M coordinator Valeria Cárcamo Vidal and the executive director of Wikimedia Chile, Patricia Díaz Rubio. The conversation was moderated by the USACH director of journalism studies, Alejandra Phillippi Miranda.
