Episode Synopsis

What is the relationship between fringe and unpopular groups on social media and how they move politics and influence the culture?

This is the starting point of Joan Donovan's talk where she dives into media manipulation, the effects of disinformation campaigns and adversarial media movements. Donovan presents us some strategies that have been used by activists as well as white supremacists using social media, how they get their political objectives into the world, how they get attention; how they find resources to carry on their politics. What can be done and what has been done historically to shut them down?

Join her at Decidim Fest to discuss how we can build a public interest internet, in conversation with Arnau Monterde, Ajuntament de Barcelona and coordinator of the Decidim project.
