Michael Meyer-Resende is a leading expert in democracy and governance. He serves as the founder and executive director of Democracy Reporting International (DRI). With decades of experience, he has been a strong advocate for democratic institutions worldwide, focusing on:
- Electoral processes
- Legal reforms
Meyer-Resende has worked on projects in various countries, including:
- Supporting electoral reforms in Tunisia and Ukraine
- Promoting inclusive governance in Myanmar and Pakistan
- Combating disinformation in digital spaces
Recently, Meyer-Resende and DRI have taken a significant step by:
- Suing Elon Musk’s social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter)
- Demanding access to critical data needed to track disinformation ahead of Germany’s national elections on February 23
The lawsuit claims that X is violating European Union law by denying researchers access to important information about post reach and engagement, which is essential for monitoring potential election interference.
