SUMMARY:Information Ethics Roundtable 2020 "Scientific Misinformation in the Digital Era"
DESCRIPTION:“The Information Ethics Roundtable is a yearly conference that brings together researchers from a variety of disciplines\, including but not limited to\, philosophy\, computer and information science\, political science\, library science\, journalism\, and law to discuss ethical issues such as information privacy\, intellectual property\, access to information\, artificial intelligence\, and big data. \nScientific hoaxes (Feder 2017) and “quack” medicine (Kang and Pedersen 2017) are nothing new. But some are concerned that\, with the rise of the internet\, science is more seriously under threat from misinformation than ever before. In recent issues of the Journal of the American Heart Association and the Royal Society Open Science\, scientists are sounding the alarm\, arguing that our current digital environment is promoting the “wanton spread of medical misinformation” that is causing “significant harm” (Hill et al. 2019) and “undermining trust in science and the capacity of individuals and society to make evidence-informed choices\, including on life-or-death issues” (Hopf et al. 2019). The 2020 Information Ethics Roundtable invites submissions that offer analyses\, explanations\, and/or solutions to the problem of scientific misinformation and disinformation in the digital era. We seek submissions that approach these issues from a variety of disciplinary perspectives\, with a potential to inform discussions of information ethics.”

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.”
