Forum against Fakes panel — People Powered

A report on the Forum against Fakes citizens' assembly in Germany, which used a combined method of consultations and a citizens' assembly.

This report is the result of a national citizens' panel discussing the threat of disinformation to democracy and strategies to address this challenge in Germany. The process took a unique hybrid approach using both consultations and a citizens' assembly in two stages. The public was first called on to participate in three online consultations, which were then fed into a citizens' assembly consisting of over 120 citizens who developed recommendations for tackling disinformation.
