This morning at #SIF23, panelists emphasized the importance of conversations across sectors, across movements, and across communities in order to strengthen information equity and combat harms in its absence. This is especially important in breaking news events & in crises.
"Governments need to reaffirm the right to information, not as a weapon of war or as a tool for disinformation, but as a human right and survival right" highlights @Irenekhan whilst also emphasizing that companies must take responsibility, pre-, during and post-crises. #SIF23
