Fighting ‘pernicious’ disinformation and outlandish conspiracy theories such as QAnon will form the basis of a new joint campaign from the European Commission, UNESCO and the World Jewish Congress.

Twitter, which has been the subject of ferocious criticism from cult experts and debunkers for enabling dangerous conspiracy theories to fester and grow, will also join the campaign, the organisations said.
