The Cambridge Disinformation Summit is a project to convene global thought leaders to enhance interdisciplinary research, policy, and practice regarding disinformation tactics, efficacy, and interventions.
This page will feature information about future Summit events. It will also facilitate discussion about current research, policy, or practice.
POSTS ARE NOT ENDORSEMENTS. In other words, when articles or research findings are presented in posts to this feed, they are to facilitate discussion about--but not endorse--the underlying premise/findings.
Common post types and anticipated retention [subject to discretion]:
--Current events that might relate to topics such as actors, platforms, tactics, interventions, or enforcement: approximately 3 weeks
--Upcoming events such as webinars or conferences: until event occurs
--Relevant research: indefinitely (we hope to host an alternative platform for discussion at a later point in time)
--Cambridge Disinformation Summit event notices: approximately 3 weeks
Open dialogue that includes difference of opinion and debate are welcome. However, comments with ad hominem attacks will be removed.
Commenters: we welcome your ideas, even when they conflict with others. However, we ask for precise communication of your core thoughts and supportive evidence where available.
Example of imprecise communication: “masks do not prevent covid spread.”
Example of more precise communication: “there is evidence that properly fitted masks, with N95 or better filtration, worn with discipline (i.e., not dropped below the nose for comfort) can mitigate the potential spread of airborne virus for certain lengths of temporary exposure and certain exposure concentration levels.”
