Jane Lytvynenko on tactics in spreading disinformation online #39
Disinformation has been with us for a long time and as social media emerged it has been using new tools to spread even faster. Some of those tools are well known: pictures out of context, deep fake, false information under the cloak of science. Analysts and scientists study their impact on our lives. What have they discovered so far? What role do memes play in spreading disinformation? Why did some Americans believe that the last presidential election had been rigged and what was the role of keyword squatting? In this episode of our podcast we host Jane Lytvynenko, a journalist specializing in disinformation and its impact on social change. She published, among others, at BuzzFeed.News. She is associated with The Media Manipulation Casebook - a research platform devoted to disinformation and its threats to democracy, public health and security.
