Disinformation Landscape in Finland (2025)

Saari, D., Moilanen, P., & Hautala, M. (2025). 

In general, Finland has a decent level of resilience against disinformation and information warfare especially from neighbouring Russia. The main reasons for this are the relatively high quality of the Finnish education system (and, accordingly, the high level of education among the population), a long tradition of media literacy and institutional trust among the population. Finns’ willingness to defend their country isalso among the highest in the world. This can be explained byconscription being an integral part of Finland and Finnish society throughout the country’s independence.
