The Austin Forum on Technology & Society

Meetup

Misinformation Meetup—Let’s Do Something About It!

Event Summary

Misinformation and disinformation are growing problems in society, contributing to health risks (e.g. false information about vaccines), societal divides and polarization, and misinformed views on issues of race, gender, and more. We’re not going to solve the problems in one evening, but each of us can do little things to help. We will have some experts in misinformation, and we’ll mingle, discuss, ideate, and close the night with people’s best ideas for how individuals can help, and what ideas researchers and companies (maybe a new startup?) should explore. Come join us for this great in-person Austin Forum discussion event.
