Policy Crunch: Navigating the "wild west" of the internet from social media to digital governance
Half day eventIn Ottawa, ON
- 5:30pm - 7:30pm
Social media is a popular tool for sharing news, information and ideas, and for friends and family to stay in touch.
Social media also has a 'dark side’: fake news, micro targeting, internet bots and trolls, and hate speech. For example, the Liberal Party in their 2019 Election Platform committed to “target online hate speech, exploitation and harassment.”
Join us for a non-partisan conversation about digital governance, regulating information online, and countering hate speech in the ‘wild west’ of the internet.
