Theme for the January PBC playlist was Disinformation & Fake News.
We listened to an episode of Function with Anil Dash titled “How To Save the 2020 Election: Stopping Fake News.” In the episode, Anil talks to Fadi Quran of the people powered social advocacy group, Avaaz, about how tech is used to target groups of people and spread disinformation that affects our elections, relationships, and social justice movements. Together they discuss insidious nature of disinformation and misinformation, meet its victims, and go over solutions.
