In the context of the regional security situation, there has been an exponential increase in the volume of fake news disseminated concertedly on all information platforms.
Thus, according to the provisions of points 26 - 28 of the Directive No. 1 of 24.02.2022 of the Commission for Emergency Situations of the Republic of Moldova, the SIS requests the administrators of online content sources to refrain from publishing/distributing false information, as well as messages inciting hatred, mass disorder or war.
We request all administrators of online content sources to immediately remove false articles/information on the escalation of the situation in Ukraine, as well as messages inciting hatred, mass unrest or war, published from 23 to 24 February 2022.
The SIS reiterates its call to the general public to get informed from official sources and those actively verifying published information, as well as to refrain from sharing questionable information, containing hate speech and/or violence.
