Following feedback to limit the spread of false narratives, and not to contribute to increasing social media engagement, we have not included links to individual social media posts. The project uses Brandwatch, a social media listening and analytics tool, to monitor public conversations in multiple EU/EEA languages. Through this pilot, we aim to: * Identify health false information, particularly on vaccines and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and observe trends, * Explore together how social media insights can support risk communication and strategic messaging at both EU and national levels. The report will be sent out every 2 weeks. At this stage, the project focuses solely on social listening and identifying of false or misleading narratives. Please note that it is not media monitoring, and therefore it does not include traditional media (radio, TV, print or news portals). As previously, we warmly invite your feedback throughout this process. Please let us know * Whether you find the reports useful, * What additional elements or insights would you like to see included, * Any other comments/ suggestions. Your insights will be essential to evaluate how this project can enhance our shared capacity to detect, analyse, and respond to online misinformation more effectively. Thank you, Best regards, Betina Kiefer Alonso Confidentiality Notice If you are not the intended recipient of this message, you are hereby kindly requested, to, consecutively, refrain from disclosing its content to any third party, delete it and inform its sender of the erroneous transmittal.
