Who should take responsibility for the spread of misinformation and disinformation online?
Solutions to address mis/disinformation typically treat it as an individual problem, with systems that punish on a case by case basis. However, online social networks and news corporations often position themselves outside of the framework of responsibility for mis/disinformation, despite them often benefiting from the increased engagement mis/disinformation generates online.
In this session, panelists will speak on the role corporations must have in addressing the spread of mis/disinformation, how governments need to be responding to this epidemic, and the policies needed to hold both corporations and government accountable.
This session is the third of four offerings in an online learning and discussion series focused on:
hearing directly from young people;
engaging in dialogue with peers, stakeholders, and decision makers; and
exploring recommendations for effective protections and rights-based digital policies in Canada.
Online only | No cost | Open to all ages
