US Pressures Allies to Quit Sponsorship of Disinformation Conference
Original: U.S. Pressures Allies to Pull Sponsorship from Disinformation Conference Over U.S.-Focused Panel
The United States has reportedly pressed allied governments to withdraw their sponsorship of a major conference on disinformation after learning the event would include a panel focusing on the US. The move has drawn criticism from observers who see it as at odds with Washington's stated commitment to combating disinformation and press freedom abroad.
Why now: The reported contradiction between US anti-disinformation rhetoric and its lobbying against a conference panel is drawing attention and criticism.
