Combating Misinformation in the Arab World: Challenges & Opportunities
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
Misinformation and disinformation pose significant risks globally, with the Arab region facing unique vulnerabilities due to geopolitical instabilities, linguistic diversity, and cultural nuances. We explore these challenges through the key facets of combating misinformation: detection, tracking, mitigation and community-engagement. We shed light on how connecting with grass-roots fact-checking organizations, understanding cultural norms, promoting social correction, and creating strong collaborative information networks can create opportunities for a more resilient information ecosystem in the Arab world.
