Maldita.es will fight election-related disinformation by creating educational content on TikTok

At Maldita.es, we know that the election campaign for the general elections on 23 July is also being fought on TikTok, where political parties try to attract voters. Alongside their messages and other informational content, disinformation will also circulate.

Maldita.es will fight election-related disinformation by creating educational content on TikTok

What does our collaboration consist of?

With the aim of countering electoral disinformation, TikTok provides the community with an Election Information Centre where users can access reliable information and resources. This information centre also includes a video search hub related to the elections, access to official information from the Central Electoral Board, and content developed by Maldita to help inform users about the electoral process. In this way, when searching for terms related to the elections, political parties or candidates, users will be able to access a screen with official information about the electoral process and consult content based on verified data and facts on electoral issues.

In addition, Maldita.es has produced specific videos on TikTok to explain some common questions and recurring pieces of disinformation about the elections, such as the vote-counting system or voting by mail.

Maldita.es will collaborate with TikTok throughout 2023 by creating content on how to identify and debunk disinformation.

At Maldita.es, we know that the community is essential to avoid being misled, and that only through tools and education can we defend ourselves against falsehoods. That is why throughout 2023 we will develop content on TikTok to raise awareness and encourage civic action against hoaxes and false narratives.
