Description:

We live in a time where anyone can create content. This should create healthy discourse, because information can be created by the wealthy and privileged, the poor and disadvantaged, and everyone in between. But that isn’t what has happened at all, we have fake news, deep fakes, and countries wage digital warfare to make their enemies less stable. Where did this all go wrong? And what needs to happen bring make the promise of democratizing information a reality?
