London's Mayor, Sadiq Khan, is launching a major £7m campaign to fight a 'relentless attack' of online disinformation. The City Hall-funded campaign launches in September, aiming to promote London's culture and innovation across Europe, the US, and Asia. This comes after a report found a nearly 200% rise in posts portraying London as dangerous or in decline.
