“The public, both Macedonian and global, has lost the battle with false news and misinformation and one of the reasons is because the public and academia and media constantly avoid facing the fact that we live in an era of post-truth, ie politics and centers of power implement a system of misinformation about business interests,” said Xhabir Deralla at the panel discussion “Pandemic and Infodemic”.
“We know at what levels the hybrid war is taking place, in this multipolar world, and we can only expect it to be worse. No one is bothered by the truth anymore, by the facts. Nobody cares if there is truth or not, everyone hits on people’s emotions and business points are created, capacities for making huge profits.
We will not get the real answers on how to deal with this, unless we give the definition of hybrid war, fake news and misinformation are used to stuff the world of citizens.
Partial engagement with this topic will not be productive or effective.
People here simply do not read, do not follow, do not analyze and at the same time they will not succeed, because of everything I have said so far,” Deralla added.
