S5 E8: 100 Seconds to Midnight: Miss Information and the Social Media Wars
Disinformation is a war waged on the citizens of countries in order to promote dissent and division among the people.
We’re all vulnerable. We’re all targets. We’re all in a war that we don’t understand.
How is this war waged? Through something seemingly so innocuous, so mundane, so enticing. Social media.
It’s 90 seconds to midnight and this war has gone on since the dawn of time, but now, operatives are using bots, AI technology and PR firms to spread disinformation that’s harmful for governments, businesses and individuals.
Find out how social media is becoming a battleground for racism, political division, hate speech and ultimately, violence.
If you haven’t listened to my podcast, you should.
It’s 90 seconds to midnight, my friends and we need to talk.
