Digital Authoritarianism and the Counter Disinformation Industry | Andrew Lowenthal
Andrew Lowenthal is the co-founder and former executive director of EngageMedia, an Asia-Pacific digital rights, open and secure technology, and documentary film non-profit. He is a former fellow of Harvard's Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society, and MIT's Open Documentary Lab.
Whilst director, EngageMedia produced the Pandemic of Control - a series on Covid-19 and digital authoritarianism. More recently Andrew has written about the 'anti-disinformation' industry as tool for information suppression. He is in the process of developing new initiatives on digital authoritarianism including writing at networkaffects.substack.com.
The Covid event has revealed that it was about more than just public health and the political, economic and societal aspects of the response are of far greater significance than the virus itself. There remains a continued drive toward the transformation of our societies in ways that threaten democracy and our existing ways of life. Open Society Sessions aim to examine the political, societal and economic dimensions of our recent experience and analyse developments in the future.
