We know bad guys are continuing to use social media tools to exploit divisions and undermine elections in the US. We have seen their handiwork in France, Mexico, Germany and other places. Between now and SXSW we will see elections not just in the United States but in Brazil and Georgia where on-line manipulation of opinion is already a big problem. When we meet, elections in Indonesia, India and Europe will be just around the corner.
Panelists will talk about where things stand, explore what's working and what's not from the perspective of the world's largest social media platform, the media, and a think tank working to create a network of experts to combat the issue. We'll look at ways to close the information gap among government, tech, and media on these collective challenges.
