Combatting Misinformation—What Criminal Justice Agencies Need to Know
Hosted by the Justice Clearinghouse, this webinar discusses the online activity of international bots, troll farms, and shepherds. While trying to manage an already difficult online landscape, police social media managers have found themselves trying to cope with an avalanche of questionably legitimate social media accounts trying to sew discord in their communities. Participants will learn the origins and practices of fake accounts, how to identify bots and trolls, and what to do about them, even when that misinformation spreads in their own organizations.
