The post discusses the various ways in which FIMI is disrupting democratic practices and the potential countermeasures that can be taken to protect the integrity of elections. The authors provide insightful examples of FIMI incidents in recent elections and highlight the role of emerging technologies, such as generative AI, in exacerbating the problem.
