French online ecosystem found to be resilient despite worrying threats during the 2022 elections

June 28, 2022

In response to major concerns around disinformation attacks during the 2022 French elections, the Online Election Integrity Watch Group brought together a group of researchers to monitor information manipulation online meant to sway public opinion.

The Watch Group is an initiative by Reset and functions as a discussion and working group monitoring online threats to electoral integrity. It is made up of ISD and nine other member organisations.

The concluding findings of that investigation are now available in our joint report “The French Information Ecosystem put to the Test“. In the report you can also find recommendations for protecting future elections from potential forms of manipulation that might undermine voting integrity.

This report is available in English and French.
