## Curatorial responses

> Address primarily editorial and content policy and ‘community standards’, although some can also have a technological dimension, which will be cross-referenced accordingly.&#x20;

## Technical/algorithmic responses

> *Use algorithms and/or Artificial Intelligence (AI)  to detect and limit the spread of disinformation. Examples: algorithms on the social platforms or video-sharing and search engines themselves; third party tools (e.g. browser plugins), experimental academic research.*&#x20;

## Demonetisation responses

> *Designed to stop monetisation and profit from disinformation and thus, disincentivise the creation of clickbait, counterfeit news sites, and other kinds of for-profit disinformation.*&#x20;
