The #KeepItReal campaign was launched today by ARTICLE 19, an international NGO advocating for the establishment of an Irish Social Media Council.
Inspired by press councils, social media councils aim to provide an open, transparent and accountable forum to address content moderation issues including disinformation. The concept has been endorsed by UN Special Rapporteur David Kaye and Stanford University's Cyber Policy Center. The initiative in Ireland is the first of its kind.
To advance the debate about social media councils, the #KeepItReal campaign encourages young people across Ireland to debate issues surrounding disinformation and freedom of expression on social media.
We are absolutely thrilled to announce the launch of a new action-oriented account for ARTICLE 19.
Follow and engage with our first campaign to tackle disinformation in #Ireland (and please share yours with us!).
More tomorrow just
