Countering Disinformation and Authoritarian Influence \u2014 The Hybrid-War Frontline<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Sections &#39;Mechanisms for Countering Disinformation&#39; (12:40, mod. V. Moroz) and &#39;Resisting the Threat of Authoritarian Regimes&#39; (12:40, mod. D. Kokhmaniuk)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Two parallel sections addressed institutional mechanisms against disinformation in the digital environment and resistance to authoritarian regimes&#39; influence over cyberspace [1][3]<\/li>\n<li>Security and defence institutions \u2014 the SBU, the State Special Communications Service, the Defence and Interior Ministries \u2014 took part alongside human-rights groups such as Freedom House Ukraine [1][3]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2. Platform Accountability and Algorithm Transparency \u2014 Ahead of the Regulatory Curve<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Section &#39;Platform Accountability and Algorithm Transparency&#39; (14:40, mod. V. Moroz)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Platform accountability and the transparency of recommendation algorithms had a section of their own \u2014 notably before the EU&#39;s DSA proposal put these issues on the global regulatory agenda [1]<\/li>\n<li>A companion section on digital-space legislation, including an internet regulation index, weighed free expression against regulation [1]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3. The UN High-Level Panel Report and Stakeholder Cooperation<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Plenary &#39;Stakeholder Cooperation in the Digital Technology Era&#39; (17:20, mod. O. Prykhodko)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Responding to the UN High-Level Panel on Digital Cooperation report published in June 2019, the plenary discussed what stakeholder cooperation should look like in Ukraine [1]<\/li>\n<li>Sections linking global debates to domestic practice ran alongside: Ukraine&#39;s integration into the EU Digital Single Market, IoT applications and DNS market challenges [1]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>4. Children&#39;s Rights Online \u2014 A Dedicated Section for the Second Year Running<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Section &#39;Child Online: Ensuring and Protecting Rights&#39; (10:00, mod. O.

What was actually discussed?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. It is a dialogue forum, not a decision-making body. The 10th edition ran nine sections, from countering disinformation and platform accountability to children&#39;s rights and EU digital-market integration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. What was the most distinctively Ukrainian topic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. How to resist authoritarian regimes&#39; influence over cyberspace. As a party to hybrid warfare since 2014, Ukraine treated disinformation and foreign influence operations as concrete threats.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why should I care?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Platform accountability and algorithm transparency, debated here in 2019, went on to become universal regulatory questions \u2014 from the EU&#39;s DSA to platform laws elsewhere.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Ukraine IGF?
