Phumzile Van Damme - Digital Disinformation Undermines Global Democratic Processes and Institutions.
GUEST: Phumzile Van Damme - Counter-Electoral Disinformation Expert, digital rights activist, consultant and former South African Member of Parliament.
----------
The rise of the internet in the 21st century has been accompanied by unprecedented levels of polarisation, division, and weaponised information. At the same time democracies around the world are being hit by a huge range of different, and rapidly evolving hostile state activities. The focus of this channel is primarily Russia, but this problem is not confined to countries that oppose Russia’s expansionism and influence in Europe and the US. This is a global problem, with many countries learning and adopting the techniques of digital manipulation for electoral advantage. Once the ‘technology’ and methodology of malign influence through social platforms has been developed, it can be used by local as well as international players, to undermine opponents and their values, and democratic institutions.
