Jak nefinancovat dezinformace na video platformách?
Video obsah se stává stále populárnějším zdrojem informací a jeho objem v informačním prostředí roste.

Jejich aktivita na platformách jako YouTube roste a s tím i jejich sledovanost, která dosahuje desetitisíce až sto tisíc sledovatelů. Kromě platformy pro rozšíření dosahu jim YouTube slouží jako monetizační platforma, ať už pomocí reklam, členských poplatků nebo finančních darů.

Growing Recognition of PSSI’s Report on SHEIN
Since the Prague Security Studies Institute published the report, "Suppliers in Chains: SHEIN's Troubling IPO," SHEIN’s prospects for a U.S.-based listing have dwindled.
