Join the Atlantic Council Tech Program’s DFRLab and Democracy + Tech Initiative for a conversation with Věra Jourová, European Commission Vice President for Values and Transparency and Mark Scott, Senior Resident Fellow of the DFRLab’s Democracy + Tech Initiative, as they examine the preliminary assessment of information interference operations during the European Parliament elections.  

The European Parliament elections of 2024 marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of digital threats to democracy. Drawing from Commissioner Jourová’s extensive experience across two terms at the European Commission, the discussion will explore how the digital threat landscape has evolved—from the Cambridge Analytica scandal to the implementation of the Digital Services Act. They’ll examine the effectiveness of Russian influence operations like Doppelganger and Matryochka, assess the impact of AI on disinformation campaigns, and evaluate how different EU member states navigated these challenges during the recent European Parliament election in June.  

As the United States prepare for crucial elections in 2024, this timely discussion offers vital insights for policymakers and platforms working to protect electoral integrity in an increasingly complex digital landscape worldwide.
