Abstract:

The evolving landscape of digital information presents a formidable challenge to democratic resilience, particularly within the transatlantic space. This paper analyses the dynamics of information governance in the wake of 2025’s geopolitical strategic shifts and the rise of extremism across European Union (EU) member states. It critically examines the divergences in US and EU regulatory responses, the implications of corporate influence on digital governance, and the vulnerabilities stemming from AI-empowered information manipulation in democratic societies. By analysing and evaluating existing frameworks such as the EU’s Digital Services Act, NATO’s approach to disinformation, and their translation into national (non)regulatory measures, we reflect on tailored policy recommendations for strengthening democratic resilience in the digital age. The findings emphasise the necessity of enhanced transatlantic cooperation, reinforced platform accountability, and institutionalised digital security measures to counteract foreign and domestic threats to the integrity of public discourse.
