The Baltic states, Poland, and Sweden are among the better-prepared EU countries in countering disinformation, while Italy, Germany, and Romania appear to be among the most vulnerable, a Senior Intelligence and Policy Analyst at the Global Disinformation Index, Mattia Caniglia, told Euronews, which we feature on Radio Schuman today.
Caniglia explains why some countries are more prepared than others to tackle disinformation, and what key methods and tools were deployed last year to spread it.
Radio Schuman also has a quick look at Meloni-Musk negotiations for a 1.5 billion deal to use SpaceX Starlink to set up a government and military communication system.
Finally, we also bring you to tourist destinations where visitors are rewarded if they behave!
