Domestic and foreign digital influence operations have already targeted the 2020 election. The covid-19 pandemic — which has given rise to so much misinformation that the WHO has called an "infodemic"—has intensified online political manipulation, presenting grave challenges to our democracy as well as to public health. Please join Ann Ravel (Digital Deception Project Director at MapLight and former chair of the Federal Election Commission) and Katie Joseff (Senior Research Associate in the Center for Media Engagement at UT Austin) for a discussion of the online threats to the integrity of our political processes—and what lawmakers and social media platforms can do to combat them. The conversation will be moderated by Daniel G. Newman (President and Co-Founder of MapLight).
