A special unit will monitor and analyze what is happening in social networks and in the media environment, Minister of Electronic Governance Bozhidar Bozhanov has told MPs, participants in the internal committee on the topic. He justified the idea with the fact that currently there was no state body that has powers on the subject.

 "This is not about the ministry controlling what people post or what groups write, because that would become a kind of repressive apparatus," the minister said. According to him, trends in the dissemination of certain narratives will be monitored, which will be related to real-world events and reports will be provided to the ministries on topics within their competence. According to Bozhidar Bozhanov, the main channel used  for spreading disinformation in this country was Facebook.
