We're joined this week by Joe Bernstein (@Bernstein) to talk about his recent Harper's long read on Disinformation and the commercialisation of fact-checking, misinformation reporting, OSINT, and its implications of how we understand news, information and data. We talk about what Joe considers to be "Big Disinfo" and the ways in which important work - discerning the truth on the internet- can be leveraged and co-opted by the tech platforms that incentivise and encourage fake news and weaponised information in the first place.
