Outstanding quotes:
“In both countries, there is a very strong migration from old media to new media and social media, which makes it very hard to control the phenomenon, because disinformation actors are born there. So, they know those spaces better than we do, because we always have to shift, to adapt and to move and to learn new ways to counter this.” - Diana Filimon
“Young people are using their own common sense in detecting exaggerated emotions and are very well placing them as being wrong. Most of them are not intentionally well-informed, not even intentionally informed, but they stumble across information. They have this radar though, feeling when they are manipulated emotionally, but it a matter of chance.” - Diana Filimon
