Comelec forms panel vs disinformation
The Philippine Star
|July 21, 2024
The Commission on Elections has launched “Task Force Katotohanan, Katapatan, Katarungan (KKK) sa Halalan” to combat misinformation and disinformation ahead of the May 2025 midterm elections.
Task Force KKK, the Comelec said, will monitor and regulate posted and published contents on quadri-media (TV, radio, print and online).
“It will conduct prebunking and debunking of malicious and erroneous information against the Comelec, its officials and the electoral processes. It will also undertake voter education and information efforts,” the poll body said in a statement.
It added that Task Force KKK will also recommend the prosecution of peddlers of misinformation, disinformation and malinformation as well as of malicious actors in the age of artificial intelligence and deepfakes in elections.
