Unregulated online content has spread disinformation and propaganda that have amplified political divisions worldwide, fanned international tensions and even contributed to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, according to an annual report by Reporters Without Borders.
More widely known by its French acronym RSF, Reporters Without Borders warned that democratic societies were becoming increasingly fractured by disinformation spread on social media, as well as a rise in opinion-based media pursuing a so-called "Fox News model", referring to the controversial right-wing television network in the United States.
