True Lies: Disinformation in an Election Year
UPDATE: Unfortunately, Timothy Graham is unwell, so we will be speaking with his QUT colleague Professor Dan Angus, who has kindly stepped in.
As the Federal Election approaches amid heightened geo-political tensions, Burning Platforms looks at a ground-breaking attempt to understand how political actors game the social media algorithms to deliver targeted disinformation.
We will dive in deep with Timothy Graham, who is tracking online disinformation in the run-up to the 2022 poll through an ARC-funded DECRA project: Combating Coordinated Inauthentic Behaviour on Social Media (2022-2025).
