1 month ago

Misinfo Weekly is an educational podcast for lay audiences dedicated to understanding misinformation in our time. Every week (mostly) we try to provide some perspective on current events in misinformation. The show breaks down basic and advanced concepts in mis and disinformation, as well as helps track and trace how misinformation events come to be. The show is collaboration between the Information Competition Lab, which Michal and Shawn co-lead, and the Unit for Data Science and Analytics at Arizona State University Library. Show conversations are aimed at late high school and beyond.

Twitter is Burning: Straining to Validate the Big Lie and Implications for Future Misinformation Events
Misinformation and issues of content moderation go hand in hand. And there are some lessons to be learned from the current Twitter debacle. We go over some key changes in the platform, and we review some of the ways that Twitter may invite future misinformation. We also review some data about activity on other alt-tech platforms to get a sense of what Twitter and its CEO may represent to other communities online. Finally, we explore some parallels in the Twitter acquisition and the 45th Presidency.
