Session
Dynamic Coalition on Platform Responsibility
Duration (minutes): 90
Format description: A 90 minute roundtable is instrumental to allowing meaningful interactions with the large number of stakeholders participating in the session.
The concept of "Information Integrity" has been increasingly employed towards a propositive agenda that aims to encompass the addressing of disinformation, misinformation, hate speech and threats for democracy in the online environment (see, for instance, the recently-launched United Nations Global Principles For Information Integrity). Nevertheless, it still lacks a solid theoretical framework. Joining forces, the DC on Platform Responsibility (DCPR) and the DC on Internet Rights and Principles (IRPC) organize this session to explore the concept from a perspective of human rights and platform responsibilities. The session clearly states challenges for trust and security in the current digital information ecosystem, including those related to algorithmic recommendation systems and the attention economy. The session also aims to evaluate and support the ongoing activities of all stakeholders toward strengthening information integrity, for social media platforms particularly how to live up to their responsibility while complying with human rights principles.

5. Gender Equality
16. Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
Targets: Our session is linked to the advancement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 16 and 5, which focus on fostering peace, justice, strong institutions, and gender equality, respectively. By addressing information integrity the session contributes to SDG 16’s aim of promoting just, peaceful, and inclusive societies. Moreover, our session emphasises the importance of SDG 5, which seeks to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. Disinformation and online abuse have specific impacts on women, exacerbating existing gender inequalities and undermining efforts to create an inclusive society.
