New report: Investigation of foreign disinformation in Greenlandic Facebook forums

On 9 December 2024, a new report will be released investigating whether foreign actors are spreading disinformation in Greenlandic Facebook forums.

The report is written by Nasiffik - Center for Foreign and Security Policy at University of Greenland, Analyse & Tal, Common Consultancy and the Digital Infrastructure Think Tank.

Disinformation is deliberately false or misleading information intended to create discord or shape attitudes.

The report examines whether the debate on Facebook in Greenland is being influenced by foreign hostile actors.

It is the first of its kind and deals with disinformation in the debate on foreign policy in Greenlandic Facebook forums.

With the upcoming Greenlandic election, the geopolitical situation in the Arctic and the development of digital translation tools, such mapping is particularly important now.

Speakers

• Rasmus Leander Nielsen, associate professor and Head of Nasiffik - Center for Foreign and Security Policy, Ilisimatusarfik
• Cecilie Astrupgaard, partner, Analyse & Tal
• Eske Vinther-Jensen, founding Partner, Common Consultancy
• Signe Ravn-Højgaard, Director and co-founder, Digital Infrastructure Think Tank

The report can be read on Nasiffik's website after the presentation.

On 10 December, we will also present the report's conclusions online in a webinar at 11:00 Greenlandic time and 14:00 Danish time - read more here.
