What happens when governments, technology organizations, universities, media institutions, and policymakers become increasingly involved in determining what qualifies as trustworthy information? In this Common Core Diva presentation, Lynne Taylor examines free speech and government misinformation policies through the lens of the German Marshall Fund’s Geopolitics of Technology discussion and a Civic Information Handbook connected to researchers at the University of North Carolina. Taylor explores misinformation, disinformation and “malinformation,” technology-driven information campaigns, data mining, behavioral influence, MINDSPACE, Big Tech, higher education, and the role of policymakers in shaping the information environment. Her central concern is whether efforts promoted as combating false information could ultimately restrict free speech, freedom of thought, independent research, and citizens’ ability to challenge government narratives.
Research and Articles :
My observations:
Warner is somehow the Chief of the Senate’s Select Committee on Intelligence.
German Marshall Fund US is a branch of the global entity.
Warner is a policy maker BEFORE being a political figure. (That speaks volumes as to his allegiance to the United States.)
Warner is a ‘go to ‘ for Goldman Sachs.
The conversation was quick to distract Americans by pointing out supposed foreign enemies yet ZERO was stated about our domestic ones.
Shift support by shifting words. Example: ‘advanced technology’ not ‘green technology’.
That way more bipartisan efforts.
This ties to a “Civic Handbook” full of ways to combat ‘disinformation’.
The US Government must practice ‘cyber hygiene’.
Congress’s response to AI has been pitiful.
When you hear ‘incremental change’, think the proverbial pot of boiling frogs.
