In the current online information environment, it has become increasingly complicated for users to define what information to trust: the amount of available content online exceeds the time and attention that users can invest in analysing what source is reliable and what is not. This paper seeks to analyse a topic that, within many facets, is becoming increasingly relevant as an element of present and future media policy. Moreover, it aims to inform and guide the EU approach to tackle disinformation online. Individual choices are driven both by technology-based and policy-based curation, which can limit human autonomy and freedom of choice. Therefore, new policies should take into account measures to enhance exposure to a diversity of trustworthy quality content.
