DisInfo-Wars: Why defeating online lies is a battle we have to win

From The Bunker – News without the nonsense Podmasters

The internet has become a theatre of war, with lies and disinformation being radically weaponised. The UN has responded with a framework on how to fight such threats – But does it hold any real potential to win the battle for truth? Carl Miller co-founded the Centre for the Analysis of Social Media at Demos and joins Marie Le Conte in The Bunker.

“There’s no single stakeholder that can possibly make decisions unilaterally about what the internet should be like.” – Carl Miller.
“one of the most helpful things is to start talking about standards about how we make the actual mechanics of the platform less gameable.” – Carl Miller.
