SUMMARY:The Geopolitics of Emerging Tech During the Pandemic | Atlantic Council
DESCRIPTION:Corporations and governments alike continue to struggle with technology policy\, especially under the strain of a global pandemic which struck at a moment when the Internet is mature enough to alleviate many of COVID’s harms while also facing novel geopolitical challenges to its design and use. These turbulences have not just tested every facet of the digital world and its ability to handle crises but also altered international relations significantly. Many countries are at a crossroad when it comes to emerging technologies and security during a global pandemic. \nOn this episode of the GeoTech Hour\, taking place on Wednesday\, February 10\, at 12:00 p.m. ET\, experts will share insights on lessons learned\, ongoing challenges\, and requisite next steps that can be taken when considering the intersection of geopolitics\, modern technologies\, and COVID-19 pandemic. \n[…]

SUMMARY:The Contagion of Stigmatization: Racism and Discrimination in the “Infodemic” Moment | Digital Society Network
DESCRIPTION:This talk discusses the “secondary contagion” of racism (Chen et al 2020) and other forms of social stigmatization unleashed by the coronavirus outbreak in global context. I begin with a critique of how cultural biases in journalistic reporting and official speech have often reinforced racial prejudices and hierarchies and contributed to the stigmatization and shaming of marginalized communities. I then identify the intentional media manipulation practiced by politicians and authoritarian governments targeting vulnerable groups\, opportunistically using fears of the virus and fears of “fake news” to seize political control. Drawing on my own ethnographic work and policy engagement in the Southeast Asian disinformation space\, I discuss challenges of moderating and mitigating online expressions which crossover from disinformation to racist speech. I end with a reflection on how scholars conducting risky research can better support each other\, manage the mental health impacts of research in COVID times\, and develop new tools for community solidarity and allyship. \n[…]
