The Presidential Communications Office (PCO) launched an anti-fake news campaign during the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit, aiming to address misinformation across member states. The initiative highlights the growing concern over online disinformation and its impact on public discourse.
The campaign includes workshops and policy discussions designed to enhance digital literacy and promote responsible communication. Officials from various ASEAN nations attended the sessions, showing a collective effort to tackle the issue.
The PCO emphasized the importance of collaboration between governments and civil society to ensure accurate information reaches the public. This move underscores the region's commitment to maintaining trust in digital spaces.
The summit also featured discussions on legal frameworks to hold perpetrators of fake news accountable. While no concrete measures were announced, the dialogue marks a step toward a unified approach to combating misinformation in the region.
