Established in 2023, the FOC Task Force on Information Integrity Online (TFIIO) is co-Chaired by the Government of Denmark, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and FOC Advisory Network Member Wikimedia Foundation.
The Task Force will be continuing the work of the Action Coalition on Trustworthy Information Online as established under the Danish Tech for Democracy initiative. Since its outset in the fall of 2021, the Action Coalition’s intention has been to identify solutions to support trustworthy information online. In its new role under the FOC, and with the aim to engage the broader mutlistakeholder community, TFIIO will work to develop and propose policy recommendations for governmental institutions and lawmakers with the goal of safeguarding a healthy online information ecosystem, ensuring people everywhere have the ability to participate in the creation of online information, and access to a broad range of trustworthy information.
In an effort to foster an information ecosystem that supports access to trustworthy information online for everyone, while promoting open-source technology and open knowledge systems, TFIIO will employ three lines of effort: knowledge-sharing, response, and advocacy. The Task Force intends to advocate for strategies and policies that cultivate a thriving digital sphere based on trustworthy information, democratic debate, and open discussions on human rights and democracy online.
