2020 Election 'Disinformation'
The Stanford Internet Observatory published a book through their Election Integrity Partnership titled "The Long Fuse: Misinformation and the 2020 Election" which claimed that misinformation led to distrust in the 2020 Presidential Election and called for "whole-of-society" approach, including actions that could be taken by the federal government, to combat so-called "mis- and disinformation".[2],[3]
