Bret Schafer on Information Warfare and How Social Media Disrupts Democracy on the Jist

Media and Digital Disinformation Fellow Bret Schafer joined Josh Hamilton on The Jist. Bret and Josh first spoke three to discuss the weaponization of information and the threat to democracy. Now, three years later, things have unfortunately not gotten better. A lot of the issues that we faced then have been super-charged and the worst avenues for a abuse of the system have not yet been closed up. Bret and Josh spoke all about censorship, election hacking, Russia, China, Facebook, Twitter, and regulating Silicon Valley and the tech world.
