Listers,

I have read a report in one of the local dailies that we will now need an ID to log into the internet.

I thought the focus would be strengthening data and online user protection laws and investing in cyber security/information security working groups and civic education.

Now we are required to submit even more information so that we can be safer!!!

Subject: [Internet Policy] Finland is winning the war on fake news
To: ISOC Internet Policy <internetpolicy@elists.isoc.org>

Sharing this good article from CNN on Finland’s approach to fake news:

TL;DR: Finland has long been a target of Russian disinformation
campaigns; it combines media literacy training with reliable media and
regulation. Its defenses are so strong that Russia has turned to
softer targets.
