summary
Panel explains fake news as deliberately fraudulent content and gives concrete responses: a content network cuts 25% of revenue overnight by removing fraudulent links; detection uses automated crawling to spot changing publish dates and single-source stories plus dedicated review teams; the EU runs a 10-person stratcom unit since 2015 and plans a public consultation and high‑level group; platforms face a choice — invest engineering and human moderation or accept publisher-like regulation, with proposals likened to “nutrition labeling” rather than speech bans.
