## Resource

London’s Mayor Sadiq Khan is launching a £7 million global rebranding campaign to fight back against viral disinformation painting the city as dangerous or declining—targeting audiences in Europe, the U.S., and Asia with messages celebrating London’s culture, innovation, and global trade. The push comes after a 200% spike in misleading social media posts, including AI-generated images and false claims about Islamic governance, which threaten tourism and the city’s reputation. While crime metrics show a historic drop in homicides, critics argue the campaign distracts from pressing issues like personal theft and service delivery—calling for action over image polishing.
