SUMMARY:Databite No. 127: Jasmine McNealy | Data & Society
DESCRIPTION:“Data are currency. Data provide the fuel for decision-making and profit-making. Data offer evidence for enhancing health services\, infrastructure\, and zoning\, and for addressing environmental concerns. But the collection and use of data is spurring conflicts between cities\, corporate and civil society organizations\, and constituents. These conflicts occur on the grounds of data ownership\, access\, privacy\, and security. \nDr. McNealy traces these conflicts to our perception of data as a singular piece of property. A better metaphor for data\, she contends\, would be that of a networked representation or observation in an ecosystem. Dr. McNealy argues that we require an ecological approach for understanding this era of emergent technology and data — both for creating adequate policy\, and for protecting the vulnerable.”

SUMMARY:You Won’t Believe How the Chinese Government Uses Clickbait!
DESCRIPTION:“Visting Speaker: Jennifer Pan\, Assistant Professor of Communication\, Assistant Professor of Political Science and Sociology\, Stanford University \nAbstract \nThere is a growing consensus that political propaganda in the age of mass media worked\, shaping attitudes and behaviors in favor of governments by suppressing alternative media sources and dominating public attention. What happens to political propaganda in the age of digital media? In the digital context\, political actors do not automatically dominate systems of information transmission even when they successfully deploy online censorship. Online censorship can reshape the contours of what information is available on social media\, but censorship does not decrease the overall volume of information. The constraints and opportunities provided by modern social media platforms\, which are generally built on an ad-revenue model and therefore aim to maximize clicks\, are transforming the ways which governments engage in propaganda online. In this paper\, we use ethnographic fieldwork to show how producers of propaganda in China face incentives to capture clicks. We then collect and analyze posts made by over 200 Chinese city-government WeChat accounts to show how “clickbait”—the process of providing just enough information in a headline so as to grab the reader’s attention by creating an information gap—features prominently in governments’ propaganda strategies. While governments’ use of clickbait is associated with more views\, it does not predict more positive assessments of content. \nThis paper is co-authored with Yingdan Lu\, a PhD student in Communication at Stanford. \nAbout the speaker \n\nJennifer Pan is an Assistant Professor of Communication\, and an Assistant Professor\, by courtesy\, of Political Science and Sociology at Stanford University. Her research is at the intersection of political communication\, computational social science\, and authoritarian politics. Pan focuses on how autocrats control information to shape public preferences and behaviors in the digital age\, using experimental and computational methods with large-scale datasets on political activity in China and other non-democratic regimes. Her work has appeared in peer-reviewed publications such as the American Political Science Review\, American Journal of Political Science\, The Journal of Politics\, and Science. Pan received her Ph.D. from Harvard University’s Department of Government\, and she received her A.B. from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University. More information on her work can be found at jenpan.com.”

SUMMARY:Misinformation Speaker Series: Young Mie Kim
DESCRIPTION:“Please join us for a talk by Young Mie Kim\, Professor\, School of Journalism and Mass Communication\, at University of Wisconsin-Madison. \nThis event is part of the Misinformation Speaker series\, co-sponsored by the NULab and the Shorenstein Center for Media\, Politics\, and Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School. \nSpeaker Bio: \nYoung Mie Kim is a Professor of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication and a Faculty Affiliate of the Department of Political Science. Kim is an Andrew Carnegie Fellow. \nKim’s research concerns media and politics in the age of data-driven digital media\, specifically the role digital media play in political communication among political leaders\, non-party groups (issue advocacy groups)\, and citizens. \nKim’s recent research project\, Project DATA (Digital Ad Tracking & Analysis)\, empirically investigates the sponsors/sources\, content\, and targets of digital political campaigns across multiple platforms with a user-based\, real-time\, ad tracking tool that reverse engineers the algorithms of political campaigns. The project uncovers the “behind-the-scenes” operations of digital political campaigns\, i.e.\, microtargeting practices (individual-level voter identification\, targeting\, and message placement and customization strategies).”

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: What is “Zoom Bombing?” Media Manipulation and Sociotechnical Vulnerabilities
DESCRIPTION:“The Technology and Social Change Research Team at Harvard Kennedy School’s Shorenstein Center will describe the phenomenon of “zoom bombing\,” the act of hijacking a virtual meeting\, and its consequences. This is not a Zoom training\, it will just be an overview of security concerns surrounding Zoom and research relating to the manipulation of networked communication systems. \nWhile many of us did not expect to spend the Spring cloistered at home in virtual meetings\, our rapid adoption of Zoom has exposed some serious design flaws\, raising the concern of the FBI. While we are not cyber security experts\, we see “zoom bombing” as a sociotechnical vulnerability which occurs when the default settings of the technology are leveraged by intruders to disrupt communication\, sometimes just for fun\, but also for more targeted reasons. We will describe how “zoom bombing” occurs and offer some tips and field questions based on our research of the manipulation of networked communication systems. \nRegistration for this event is required\, details on how to join the webinar will be sent to registered participants the day before the event. Register here.”

SUMMARY:WEBCAST: Disinformation Amid the Coronavirus Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:“As the coronavirus has spread globally\, so has disinformation and censorship by authoritarian governments. Both Russia and China have attempted to spread false information about the genesis of the virus and China has clamped down internally on information surrounding the pandemic\, silencing both domestic reporters and whistleblowers. Yet even democracies are not immune: Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been condemned by social media sites and members of his own government for spreading disinformation on social distancing measures recommended by public health authorities. \nSTIP Disinformation Fellow Nina Jankowicz\, Kissinger Institute Associate Rui Zhong\, and Brazil Institute Senior Associate Anya Prusa will discuss disinformation surrounding the coronavirus and the U.S. response.”

SUMMARY:First Amendment Disrupted? The State of Freedom of Expression in the US | Gallup
DESCRIPTION:“Join Gallup and the John S. and James. L Knight Foundation for a discussion on the future of the freedom of expression in the U.S. and the state of free speech during the turbulent present. Rapid changes in our society are putting new pressures on First Amendment freedoms. At the same time\, free expression and civil discourse are more important than ever. \nKnight Foundation’s Sam Gill\, senior vice president and chief program officer\, will share relevant findings and observations from recent research on free speech on college campuses conducted with Gallup — a glimpse into how an emerging generation thinks about this bedrock set of rights. \nThe event will also include insights by PEN America and a panel moderated by Sanford Ungar of the Georgetown Free Speech Project\, featuring Jameel Jaffer of the Knight First Amendment Institute\, Emily Chamlee-Wright of the Institute for Humane Studies and Ronald Crutcher of the University of Richmond. Audience members will be given the opportunity to ask questions of speakers and panelists. \nGallup and Knight Foundation thank our sponsors PEN America\, the Free Speech Project and the American Council on Education.”

SUMMARY:The Shift: Public Space | Institute for Public Knowledge
DESCRIPTION:“NYU’s Institute for Public Knowledge\, Civic Signals\, The Social Science Research Council\, and The Knight Foundation invite you to a discussion on public spaces in the series on “The Shift\,” featuring Eric Klinenberg\, Toni Griffin\, Chelina Odbert\, Tony Ageh\, Eli Pariser\, and Mona Sloane. In the first episode\, this series will examine how we develop digital forms of public space as much of our social life moves online\, and how this shifts our sense of community. What is the role of public space in society? What can public space do (and not do)? What do we lose when we lose physical public space\, and how do people make up for that in the digital realm? The discussion will address these questions by exploring how vital public spaces are enacted virtually – such as the library\, the park\, the street -\, looking at what makes these spaces civically useful in both their physical and their digital form\, and asking what we can and must learn from this for a post-COVID-19 world.”

SUMMARY:COVID-19 and the US Democratic Process | NetGain
DESCRIPTION:“COVID-19 has exposed the susceptibility of our democratic processes to digital shortcomings\, including increasing uncertainty around the ability to carry out free\, fair\, and safe elections in 2020 as well as the already present challenges of a high tech census. Across the country\, advocates and campaigns are also facing a new reality as community education\, outreach\, and offline mobilization grinds to a halt\, and organizations must rely on digital formats to carry out their work plans. \nThis webinar will explore the ways in which our democratic institutions are being forced to adapt quickly to the new environment posed by COVID-19\, including digital security threats and other concerns related to civil society moving to exclusively digital formats.”

SUMMARY:On Race and Technoculture | Data & Society
DESCRIPTION:“Join us online for a talk with André Brock\, author of Distributed Blackness: African American Cybercultures\, in conversation with Data & Society’s Director of Research Sareeta Amrute as part of Data & Society’s classic Databite series. Brock’s book asks where Blackness manifests in the ideology of Western technoculture. Using critical technocultural discourse analysis (Brock\, 2018)\, Afro-optimism\, and libidinal economic theory\, this Databite employs Black Twitter as an exemplar of Black cyberculture: digital practice and artifacts informed by a Black aesthetic. \nTechnoculture is the American mythos (Dinerstein\, 2006) and ideology; a belief system powering the coercive\, political\, and carceral relations between culture and technology. Once enslaved\, historically disenfranchised\, never deemed literate\, Blackness is understood as the object of Western technical and civilizational practices. This critical intervention for internet research and science and technology studies (STS) reorients Western technoculture’s practices of “race-as- technology” (Chun 2009) to visualize Blackness as technological subjects rather than as “things.” Hence\, Black technoculture. \nThis talk will include closed captioning and Q&A. Please include accessibility requests with your RSVP.”

SUMMARY:The Executive Order on Platforms and Online Speech: Stanford’s Cyber Policy Center Responds | FSI Cyber
DESCRIPTION:“On Thursday\, President Trump signed an executive order threatening to revoke CDA 230 protections\, which would expose social media companies to increased liability for content that is posted on their sites. This comes on the heels of Twitter\, last week\, fact-checking two misleading tweets from the president about mail-in voting. Critics of the executive order say the White House is overstepping its authority\, and cannot limit the legal protections that social media companies currently hold under federal law. \nJoin the Stanford Cyber Policy Center’s team Monday June 1 at 8AM PST for President Trump’s Executive Order on Platforms and Online Speech: Stanford’s Cyber Policy Center Responds\, with Nate Persily\, Faculty Co-Director of the Cyber Policy Center and Director of the Program on Democracy and the Internet; Daphne Keller\, Director for the Program on Platform Regulation and former associate general counsel for Google; Alex Stamos\, Director of the Cyber Center’s Internet Observatory and former Chief Security Officer at Facebook; Marietje Schaake\, Policy Director for the Cyber Policy Center and former Member of EU Parliament; and Eileen Donahoe\, Executive Director of the Global Digital Policy Incubator and former US Ambassador to the UN Human Rights Counsel\, in conversation with Cyber Center Director Kelly Born.”

SUMMARY:Disinformation Systems During the Fight for Racial Justice
DESCRIPTION:“On Twitter and Facebook\, hundreds of posts are circulating saying that George Floyd is not actually dead. \nConspiracy theorists are baselessly arguing that George Soros\, the billionaire investor and Democratic donor\, is funding the spreading protests against police brutality. \nAnd conservative commentators are asserting with little evidence that antifa\, the far-left antifascism activist movement\, coordinated the riots and looting that sprang from the protests. \nUntruths\, conspiracy theories and other false information are running rampant online as the furor over Mr. Floyd\, an African-American man who was killed last week in police custody in Minneapolis\, has built. \n— The New York Times \nToday’s information environment is more chaotic and easier to manipulate than ever before\, which has been surfacing through disinformation around the current Black Lives Matter protests. Craig Silverman’s new book\, Verification Handbook: A definitive guide to verifying digital content for emergency coverage\, equips journalists with the knowledge to investigate social media accounts\, bots\, private messaging apps\, information operations\, deep fakes\, as well as other forms of disinformation and media manipulation. \nJoin us on Thursday\, June 4th at 3pm ET for a conversation on tools\, techniques and step-by-step guidelines for how to deal with user-generated content (UGC) during this turbulent time. Craig Silverman will be joined by Gabrielle Lim to lead a discussion and take your questions on the issues we’re currently facing and where we go from here. \nPlease RSVP below and we’ll be in touch with information on joining the livestream.”

SUMMARY:The COVID-19 pandemic: Big tech\, privatization\, surveillance\, AI and the rush for data | REDE4BlackLives
DESCRIPTION:“Naomi Klein and LLana James lay out the epic stakes of the growing struggles around data\, technology\, AI and COVID-19. Power\, race(ism)\, and money shape every development related to big tech: who owns it\, how and why it gets used. What do we need to consider during the pandemic if privacy\, human rights and universal access to health care are to remain intact and sustainable post pandemic. \nWhat are the risks and benefits of adding (more) race-based data to an AI\, data-driven economy\, awash in a sea of algorithmic racism? Your electronic medical and health record (EMR/EHR) are being mined\, without your informed consent. Who benefits? What are the potential short and long-term implications? What supports and protections are needed? What questions should we be asking about data brokers\, public-private partnerships\, surveillance\, privatization and the unregulated rush for data in the midst of the pandemic. Facilitated by Rinaldo Walcott. Followed by question and answer.”

SUMMARY:Online Event: "Lie Machines: How Disinformation Threatens Democracy and How to Save It" | NED
DESCRIPTION:“While disinformation is not new to politics\, today’s technologies enable political actors to manipulate the information ecosystem at scale and with great speed. Through massive networks of fake accounts\, junk news sites\, and the strategic use of conspiracy theories\, half-truths\, and falsehoods\, authoritarian regimes and others are suffocating and dividing the public square. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic\, authoritarian governments and illiberal actors are drawing on similar approaches to discredit democracy while shaping international understandings of their response to the disease. \nThese “lie machines” are aided by expanding troves of data on individuals and an information ecosystem that facilitates polarization\, outrage\, and social distrust. The net result of their efforts is deadly to democracy. A new book by Philip Howard\, director of the Oxford Internet Institute\, describes how these machines operate—and how they can be taken apart. \nFEATURING \nPhilip Howard\, Oxford Internet Institute \nLaura Rosenberger\, Alliance for Securing Democracy \nDaniel Arnaudo\, National Democratic Institute for International Affairs \nMODERATED BY \nShanthi Kalathil\, International Forum for Democratic Studies”

SUMMARY:Big Tech's Increasing Power | NetGain
DESCRIPTION:“The economic crisis caused by COVID-19 will further strengthen big tech’s hold over the economy and society\, without intervention. Already\, small businesses and retail outlets across the country are in a free fall as the result of social distancing measures\, leaving Amazon to gain an even larger share of the marketplace. Meanwhile\, local restaurants struggling to stay in business are now turning to online ordering and delivery apps\, like Grubhub\, that charge excessive fees and face little to no regulation. In addition\, journalism and news outlets also face increasing financial difficulties as ad dollars and subscriptions both decrease\, further diminishing revenues\, and making them even more dependent upon Facebook\, Google\, and Apple to provide financial support for their content. \nThis webinar will explore how the influence of big tech and digital platforms in the economy and our society is expanding in the wake of COVID-19\, and what governments should do to preserve competition in our markets and protect the public interest in this moment of significant disruption.”
