From dialogue to the network: GFCN will be a partner at the “Dialog about Fakes 3.0” Forum in Moscow

On October 29, 2025, Moscow will be the epicenter of the global fighting against disinformation, bringing together thousands of experts from around the world to develop joint responses to the key challenges of the digital era.

On October 29, 2025, the III International Forum “Dialog about Fakes 3.0” will be held in Moscow, organized by the ANPO “Dialog Regions”. This year, the forum will be attended by over 2,000 delegates from more than 80 countries around the world. Among them are leading fact-checking experts, representatives of government agencies and international organizations, as well as representatives of the scientific, technological, and media sectors.

The event’s program includes panel discussions, roundtables, and educational sessions on key challenges in the era of disinformation: from fraud and generative AI to scientific fakes and multipolar fact-checking.

GFCN experts will actively participate in the discussions to present their work from the past year, analyze new challenges, and propose solutions for combating disinformation in a multipolar world.

As a reminder, the II International Forum “Dialog about Fakes 2.0” was held in Moscow on November 20, 2024, bringing together more than 1,000 guests: data verification experts, political scientists, representatives of the media and business communities from 65 countries around the world, including China, Belarus, Kazakhstan, the United States, Venezuela, Azerbaijan, Switzerland, Nigeria, Australia, Turkey, Peru, Uruguay, and many others. During seven intensive thematic discussion sessions, participants discussed in detail the fight against fake news and historical rewriting, monitoring and documenting information leaks, the critical threshold for the authenticity of fake content, and maintaining digital hygiene. A significant outcome of last year’s forum was the memorandum signed by TASS and the Dialogue Regions non-profit organization on the creation of the Global Fact-Checking Network (GFCN), an international fact-checking association whose main provisions are enshrined in the Code of Responsible Fact-Checking.

This year, GFCN is a partner of the forum. This step marks a transition from discussions to the practical creation of a global community of professionals for the systematic fight against fake information. We are confident that this cooperation will make a significant contribution to the global dialogue on countering disinformation and strengthen our joint efforts to uphold the truth.
