About CEDMO
The Central European Digital Media Observatory (CEDMO), as an independent non-partisan multidisciplinary hub, aims to identify, research and prioritise the most critical sources and causes of information disorders in Central Europe (mainly the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland). This international consortium was created to propose a set of short and longer-term actions, as well as recommendations to help civil society, public institutions and the private sector respond to the declining trust in key institutions and help society to resist the effect of increasing exposure to mis- and disinformation.
By interacting and coordinating with European Digital Media Observatory (EDMO) and other regional EDMO hubs in EU, CEDMO will contribute to curbing threats posed by information disorders, including disenchantment with the democratic processes, and discord in civil society in Europe, and to building community and nation-wide resilience while protecting information ecosystems.

Na facebooku se šíří video, podle kterého lidem v zahraničí stačí k získání českého občanství pouze čestné prohlášení o tom, že v minulosti byli českými občany. Vláda si tak údajně chce „vyrobit“ pět až deset milionů voličů, kteří by ji pak prostřednictvím korespondenčního hlasování ze zahraničí podpořili. Ve skutečnosti však k získání občanství tímto způsobem nestačí jen čestné prohlášení. Žadatelé musí doložit i dokument prokazující ztrátu českého nebo československého občanství. Nárok na získání občanství prohlášením tak má jen malá skupina lidí s českým původem, typicky potomci emigrantů, kteří z Československa odešli po roce 1948.
