Big Tech, the US Presidential Elections and the future of social media under a Biden Presidency

December 16, 2020  |  DIgital

9:00 Am – 10:00 Am ET

Description

Concordia and Digitalis are hosting this webinar to explore the role played by big technology companies and social media companies in covering the 2020 U.S. presidential elections. The conversation will explore what the Biden administration means for relations between social media platforms and the U.S government, and will delve into how social media companies responded to disinformation campaigns and foreign subversion during the campaign. Questions that will be explored will include: What steps did the U.S. government take to improve defenses against foreign online interference between the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections? Who were the biggest foreign aggressors to the U.S. electoral system during the 2020 campaign, and what steps did the U.S. government take to stop the online campaigns launched by these entities? And, what kind of collaboration can we expect between the Biden administration and technologies company going forward to prevent foreign interference in U.S. elections?
