Power and Polarisation: Disinformation Against the Vulnerable (episode 1)
Disinformation isn't just false or misconstrued information, but rather a concrete strategy to establish influence and enhance polarisation by targeting specific socio-economic, identity and gender groups.
In this respect, Sigma European Think Tank has produced a podcast series in which the context, procedure and potential consequences for disinformation towards vulnerable groups are discussed. More specifically, the goal of this podcast is to show how targets are selected and for what reason, how it is used to discourage a constructive debate, and the potentials it has to topple peace-building efforts between political groups, nations, and different identity groupings.
Next to our speakers Chris Kremidas-Courtney, Luisa Bunescu and Maximilan Rau, we have also interviewed non-experts to add how they perceive disinformation.
We look forward to giving the audience a deeper understanding of the subject matter, raise awareness and allow for a new appreciation for the complex structures and spin-doctoring of content.
