Propaganda, Misinformation & Woke Math with Renee DiResta [S3 Ep.3]

Welcome to another episode of conversations with Coleman.

My guest today is Renee DiResta. Renee is the technical research manager at the Stanford Internet Observatory. She led a multi-year investigation into the IRA, brushes fake news factory, and she's advised Congress. She's also an ideas contributor at Wired and The Atlantic.

In this episode, we talk about the difference between misinformation, disinformation, and propaganda. We talk about public health messaging, hashtags, and trending topics and the effect they can have on the real world, the increasing power of influencers and independent content creators like myself. We also discuss censorship and algorithms on big tech platforms like Twitter and Facebook and how Wikipedia can act as a source of accurate knowledge. We go to speak about how one should do research on topics one cares about in a context where one can't always trust mainstream sources, how to avoid audience capture as a content creator, and whether math is racist.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.
