In this chapter, the authors outline the characteristics of the contemporary information ecosystem and highlight the particular challenges that make the problem of misinformation even more difficult to solve: the asynchronous nature of information environment; the difficulties of researching the information environment because of limited data made available by the platforms; and the fact that disinformation flows across borders when responses are organised by nation state.
