Interesting comments from @lawlessj on the #GE2020 - particularly the mention of the @FairPlayPledge continuing after the election as a mechanism to hold parties to account on online actions #slandail

Additionally, thoughtful & pertinent comments by @CullotyEileen on how little research has been carried on on what are effective forms of countering disinformation (and that there needs to be increased focus on audience receptivity and a bigger picture approach) #slandail
