An essential guide to understanding the digital threats shaping Europe’s future. Threats, Disinformation, and Regulations in the European Digital Environment: The Inseparable Issues brings together leading scholars to unpack one of today’s most urgent challenges: how to defend democracy, media freedom, and social cohesion in an era of disinformation. Covering case studies from across the Europe the book examines the sophisticated tactics of disinformation actors, the vulnerabilities in national and EU regulatory frameworks, and the innovative strategies being deployed to build resilience. Edited by Katerina Turková and Veronika Macková, this volume offers a fruitful combination of research, legal insight, and practical recommendations and is indispensable for policymakers, journalists, researchers, and engaged citizens determined to protect the integrity of the European digital space. * Ján Višnovský, Professor of Media Studies, University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava, Slovakia * This publication is a comprehensive account of the dilemmas facing institutions and professionals engaged in combat against disinformation. It provides an account of the legal framework, as well as limitations in its application, related to the preservation of fundamental rights such as freedom of expression. The unique value of this book is in the variety of case studies, coming from a broad range of European media and political contexts, both East- and West European. This book is essential reading for professionals (journalists, policy-makers) interested in preserving the quality of the infosphere. * Michal Wenzel, Professor of Sociology, SWPS University in Warsaw, Poland *
