The public broadcast service in my country is getting extra funding from the EU to fight disinformation on top of its existing 400 million euro budget. The provincial broadcasts network has successfully lobbied the regional government for funding for an "AI" project to measure online viewership counts in order to help them transition to an online presence which has been absent to this day as there budget is exclusively dependent on what outdated topset boxes record as the most watched tv channel. Spitting in the face of every person trying to be the local Joe Rogan in their living room studio. Funny how they think that the current peasant revolt is fuelled by disinformation by Putin.
