"From the moment you open your social media feed, you’re stepping into a
digital battleground where not all political messages are what they seem.

The upcoming federal election will see an influx of deepfakes, doctored images,
and tailored narratives that blur the line between fact and fiction.

Last week, the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) relaunched its Stop and
Consider campaign. The campaign urges voters to pause and reflect, particularly
regarding information about how to vote. But its message applies to all forms
of misinformation."
