IGF 2025 [Parliamentary session 5] Parliamentary exchange: Enhancing digital policy practices

    In this session, MPs will exchange current practices in their respective parliaments that aim at contributing to a healthy information ecosystem and upholding freedom of expression, while protecting citizens, including the most vulnerable, from online harms. All participating parliamentarians will be invited to share their experiences and contribute approaches to combating false and harmful content and ensuring safer digital spaces – both those that have worked and those that have proved less effective. Through peer learning and discussion, the concluding session of the Parliamentary Track will aim to foster collaboration and inspire actionable solutions across jurisdictions.
