SUMMARY:Tech-enabled dis- and misinformation\, social platforms\, and geopolitics | Atlantic Council
DESCRIPTION:Join the Atlantic Council’s GeoTech Center and Digital Forensic Research Lab on Wednesday\, February 3\, at 12:00 p.m. ET for a special “GeoTech Hour” on the role that social media platforms play in enabling modern mis- and disinformation. \nIn an age of hyper-connectivity and expansive digitization\, social platforms play an outsized role in public life\, serving as a sort of infrastructure for everything from academia and journalism\, to public service and elections. Individuals across the world have unprecedented access to new information each day\, and these social technologies are increasingly being relied upon by communities to organize and enact change. Many of these technologies were formed in the era of “techno-utopianism” — assuming a more connected and informed population would mean more open and democratic societies— but they have increasingly become the tools through which bad actors drive division. Whether through coordinated information operations or a simple retweet without verification\, false or misleading information can spread rapidly and easily on social platforms\, which\, in turn\, can undermine democratic processes or exacerbate public health crises. \n[…]

SUMMARY:Big\, If True Webinar: Amplified Hate and its Effects | Shorenstein Center
DESCRIPTION:Join Joan Donovan\, PhD for a Big\, If True Webinar on community understandings of networked hate groups and conspiracies with guests Brandi Collins-Dexter\, Molly Conger\, Emily Gorcenski\, Kathleen Belew\, PhD\, and Whitney Phillips\, PhD. \nOur panelists will discuss: how can journalists contextualize hate movements for a broader public without amplifying their agendas? How can civil society organizations collaborate with journalists to source better stories? And in what ways can researchers build capacity across sectors so that civil society organizations and journalists understand the role of technology in the rise of hate movements? In the battle to combat misinformation\, researchers have offered clear advice for how journalists should cover and debunk it\, but we have very provided little guidance for how civil society should counter media manipulation and disinformation campaigns. The lack of attention to civil society responses is a major gap in the research and it’s becoming increasingly clear that the guidance for journalists does not translate easily to civil society. \n[…]
