Beers with Talos ep. #92: Trending in Your Network — Disinformation
Summary: In a Beers with Talos episode recorded Aug. 26, 2020, host Mitch Neff and guest Kendall McKay discussed a Talos research team's findings on the building blocks of disinformation campaigns, including what defines disinformation and its most pervasive sources. The episode also covered who the actors behind these campaigns are and how they operate at scale while remaining hidden.
Why it matters: Disinformation efforts are described as constantly increasing, and the platforms trying to contain them struggle to do so without appearing to censor or control all information - a tension that lands on any organization whose brand, executives or customers are targeted.
