Countering Foreign Disinformation and Surveillance

Election interference by foreign states has long been an issue in many countries, from U.S. interference in Chilean elections in the 1970s to Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential elections. How has election interference evolved, especially with the rise of social media?

Join ALLIES this Wednesday as we discuss how countries can combat disinformation from foreign state and non-state actors. As usual, no prior knowledge is required and background readings will be provided. All are welcome, and we hope to see you there!
