In a fireside chat with Marta Peirano, journalist and researcher specialising in the relationship between technology and power, Nina will discuss not only how people can respond to misinformation and disinformation on a personal level, but also the roles of governments, tech companies, and community engagement in addressing misinformation. How can we promote a proactive approach involving informed citizenship to create a more accurate and reliable information environment? What can we do to prepare ourselves for a future where these problems will consist?
