SUMMARY:Epistemic Motivations\, Political Identity\, and Misperceptions about COVID and the 2020 Election | Shorenstein Center
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Speaker Series on Misinformation\, co-sponsored by the NULab at Northeastern University. \nDannagal G. Young (Ph.D. University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg School for Communication\, 2007) is a Professor of Communication and Political Science and International Relations at the University of Delaware where she studies the content\, audience\, and effects of non-traditional political information. She has authored over forty academic articles and book chapters exploring themes related to political entertainment\, media psychology\, public opinion\, and misinformation. She is also a dedicated public scholar\, with appearances on CNN\, MSNBC\, and PBS and having written for The Atlantic\, The Washington Post\, and Vox. Her 2019 book “Irony and Outrage“ examines satire and outrage as the logical extensions of the respective psychological profiles of liberals and conservatives (Oxford University Press\, 2020). Dr. Young’s current book project (with JHU Press) explores how identity fuels misinformation and how our socially sorted political media ecosystem reinforces these patterns. Young was awarded the University of Delaware’s Excellence in Teaching Award in 2014 and is a TED Speaker. \n[…]\nSource: Epistemic Motivations\, Political Identity\, and Misperceptions about COVID and the 2020 Election | Shorenstein Center

SUMMARY:Section 230: Protections Can Legal Revisions or Novel Technologies Limit Online Misinformation and Abuse: A Workshop (Day 1) | National Academies
DESCRIPTION:This is the first day of a virtual workshop to identify key issues for consideration in the reexamination of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996.  Section 230 provides Internet-based technology companies and social media platforms with immunity from civil liability for hosting user-generated content and in the removal or moderation of user-generated content. While Section 230 has played a significant role in the development of the Internet as a platform for the global exchange of information and ideas\, disinformation and abuse on social media has become an issue of increasing concern. The workshop will explore how law\, policy\, and technology might better enable management of third party content while preserving free speech and democratic norms. \n[…]\n
