Having a read through this would be time well spent by any risk management professionals.

If we want to master the complex issue of #disinformation , we need new, more holistic perspectives! Justin Arenstein is providing some fantastic food for thought in this short video - looking at disinformation from an organized crime angle. There is a whole industry profiting big time from spreading false information and propaganda. https://lnkd.in/e_nEAcf5 #DWAkademie

In my work to bridge across differences for a shared democratic future, one of the key questions we often ask of our many partners is what 'red lines' we can agree upon, and what we should do if those red lines are crossed. This is why the BLOCK-BRIDGE-BUILD framework is so useful in my opinion; bridging isn't just about dialogue and empathy, but rather finding common ground to then act on our shared values when red lines are crossed, and together build a society that is safe for everyone's political participation. No matter our ideology, acts of political violence, threats, harassment or intimidation are often one of those agreed-upon red lines. But what to do about it within our communities - how to go on offense to take a collective stand - is often less clear. The Horizons Project has been working on this Guide to Harness Our Power to End Political Violence, together with the 22nd Century Initiative and partner organizations around the US, to offer a recipe for making political violence backfire. Join us! Check out the link to the Guide in the comments and please be in touch if your organization or community is interested in receiving training or more information about this approach. There is a sign up on the website.

#awarenessmadeeasy #lucidlens For healthy, reliable, effective, and productive institutions, public trust is more important than technical rules and regulations. The erosion of public trust weakens these institutions, as democracy ultimately depends on this trust. Without it, technology and technicalities alone cannot sustain democracy. No matter how much hullabaloo you may make, be aware of the basic reality that no amount of algorithms or algorithmic progress can save democracy if democratic institutions lose public trust.
