Study on Protecting Consumers from Disinformation in Social Media

This tender from Berlin, Germany, concerns a study analyzing disinformation on social media platforms. The core deliverable appears to be a report detailing the nature and impact of fake or manipulated digital content (images, audio, video) on consumers. The study's primary objective is to identify strategies and propose measures to protect consumers from these harms. Contractors should anticipate a research-intensive project involving data gathering on social media, analysis of disinformation techniques, and potentially, the development of policy recommendations.

The scope of the project, while described as 'general', likely requires a team with expertise in social media analysis, digital forensics, legal frameworks related to disinformation, and consumer protection. The absence of specific CPV codes and a published value makes assessing complexity difficult; however, given the subject matter and client needs, expect a moderately complex project that will require a robust research methodology and comprehensive reporting. The deadline for submission is approximately one month from publication, requiring a quick turnaround for proposal development. No specific requirements are apparent from the provided data, therefore contractors should carefully review the full tender documentation for conditions or criteria.
