At a time of socio-economic difficulties and ongoing political instability, misinformation, fake news and illiberalism continue to plague the online world. False narratives, incorrect information and malicious manipulation persist in threatening to undermine vitally important human rights and seek to blight freedom of thought, speech and actions.
As the argument of if, when and to what extent it is right for technology companies to censor and block those actions deemed unacceptable continues to play out across the wider sphere, the real-life impact of such illiberal behavior remains clear.
In the closing session of Infosecurity Magazine’s Online Summit, a panel of experts will discuss:
- The role and impact of misinformation, fake news and illiberalism in 2021
- How to recognize and prevent the malicious manipulation of data online
- The role of big tech in combatting fake news
