Season 1
Episode 1179
Published 2 years, 3 months ago
Description
The internet has become a theatre of war, with lies and disinformation being radically weaponised. The UN has responded with a framework on how to fight such threats – But does it hold any real potential to win the battle for truth? Carl Miller co-founded the Centre for the Analysis of Social Media at Demos and joins Marie Le Conte in The Bunker.
- “There’s no single stakeholder that can possibly make decisions unilaterally about what the internet should be like.” – Carl Miller.
- “one of the most helpful things is to start talking about standards about how we make the actual mechanics of the platform less gameable.” – Carl Miller.
