The Electoral Commission of SA (IEC) says it has received more than 70 complaints relating to digital disinformation, a month after launching a pilot project aimed at combating digital disinformation via their online reporting platform. This month, the IEC and Media Monitoring Africa launched the Real411.org.za website to deal with complaints about language that incites violence, discrimination and the publication of false and defamatory allegations about parties during the lead up to Wednesday's general elections. A report on the News24 site notes that IEC vice-president Janet Love said the complaints received had highlighted the challenges of combating disinformation. She added that there was a continuing need for education regarding what constitutes disinformation. According to the IEC, of the 70 complaints, 34 have been finalised and the remainder are being processed. To date, none of the complaints have been found to be instances of deliberate disinformation.
