DisinfoCon is a forum for civil society, policymakers, journalists and AI practitioners to meet, exchange and align on a values-based approach and forward looking solutions that reinforce democracy in Europe’s digital landscape.
As Europe’s dependence on US-based digital platforms deepens, critical questions emerge around geopolitical autonomy, innovation, and control of the information space.
This panel will explore:
1. How the EU can strategically reduce reliance on US technologies and platforms
2. The vision and policy viability of the EuroStack proposal: A European tech infrastructure from chips to cloud
3. The impact of laws like the CLOUD Act and GDPR on data governance
4. The role of openness, digital commons, and civil society in building a democratic and sovereign digital future
DisinfoCon 2025 is organised by Democracy Reporting International in collaboration with the Embassy of Canada to Germany and Alliance4Europe.
