DESCRIPTION:2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic marked a turning point in people
 s’ information consumption habits.\nIn an environment of extreme enforce
 d isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic\, people have increasingly been c
 ompelled to turn to online sources for information and guidance. Online ne
 ws consumption rose considerably as quarantines began. \nSocial media\, al
 ready one of the primary venues of social activity for millions of people 
 who could no longer meet and talk in person\, naturally became a primary s
 ource for news.\nIn this environment\, misinformation and disinformation h
 as flourished enormously. \nFor tens of millions\, they face not only the 
 effects on long term social isolation\, but also the economic anxiety as t
 hey face an uncertain future in a fast-changing economy that threatens to 
 leave many behind.\nAll of these factors have combined to create a “perf
 ect storm” which is making more people vulnerable to disinformation camp
 aigns.\nThese “campaigns” are a threat to our democracies and our way 
 of life. They create social unrest\, alarmism\, disbelief\, chaos and unde
 rmine public security eroding the global standing of liberal democracies. 
 What could be the role of the law enforcement agencies\, governments and t
 he European Union? Are they sufficient aware of these menaces? Are they al
 ready tackling these challenges? In this paper we will try to answer those
  questions and propose some policy actions.
