Defeat Disinfo’s system uses AI to find coordinated disinformation and organic misinformation online. Algorithms then identify the themes and emotions that most effectively mitigate the false reports.
For example, Defeat Disinfo says it used the system to track disinformation that spread as a result of Trump’s endorsement of protests against stay-at-home orders. Its algorithms suggested that second-person accounts of healthcare workers’ experiences provided the most effective counter-narratives to these social media posts.
Defeat Disinfo claims the tech will reduce the damage done by Trump‘s words, such as his recent suggestion to investigate whether injecting disinfectants into the body could treat coronavirus….
Defeat Disinfo
Hey look anons - an article on Defeat Disinfo and other efforts to counter POTUS' message from the Brookings Institute two weeks ago:
Guidance for the Brookings community and the public on our response to the coronavirus (COVID-19)
Democrats have funded massive, and often ineffectual, data-driven campaigns—plowing more money into the digital influence industry’s pockets rather than mobilize people behind democratic reforms. Efforts like ‘Defeat Disinfo’, a newly established political action committee, claim to counter disinformation using military-derived AI but really put out counter-Trump messaging. Portraying political opposition as responding to disinformation risks undermining the credibility of efforts that fight hard to be perceived as politically neutral. It makes it look like the problem is being addressed at a time when real fact-checkers like Snopes are struggling to cope with the scale of pandemic-related misinformation; and it risks confusing or misleading audiences seeking factual information they can trust.
Illuminating the influence industry involves not just mapping tweets or Facebook posts, but revealing the powerful networks of companies and clients that stretch around the world, patterns of data use and technologies, funding streams, clients, and strategies—and communicating complex data for policymakers and publics in accessible ways that reveal how we respond. People have the power to adapt more quickly than policy and may well influence it, but their ability to be effective as they anticipate, organize and disrupt different tactics will depend on equipping them with richer information and more useful tools. Let’s topple more than just statues.
