The Perils of Misinformation and Disinformation – Government Technology

I watched this entire Harvard webinar today: Dismantling disinformation. It is described below:

Weve all seen the perils of disinformation. But how do we combat it? This panel will explore concrete proposals for dismantling disinformation in communities, on social media, and through public policy and regulation. Well bring together experts from multiple fields including communication, education, behavioral psychology, and First Amendment law to tackle an issue that could well shape the future of public health. This is a conversation about solutions, and the role each of us can play in limiting the impact of false content.

Here are a few items of information that I picked up:
