Final Factual Democracy Project call of the year

Today, I listed in on the final Factual Democracy Project conference call of this series.  This time, they covered:

The effects of sustained disinformation campaigns on a population over a sustained period. As Americans learn more about how their social media is being manipulated by Russia and other hostile actors, this call will focus on the effects of such manipulation. From Ukraine to the US our panelists will discuss the effects of sustained disinformation and what those seeking to inoculate themselves should be on the lookout for.

I hope this series comes back next year, because it’s been really enriching for me.
