Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

Online Disinformation and Media Literacy: Ms Frances Haugen

Ms Frances Haugen:

Given that nation state actors like Russia know they can harm our open societies because of our openness, we have to include things like information operations and disinformation when assessing the harms of these systems. I want to be clear again that I do not believe that focusing on a content-based strategy scales or is very effective, but I believe that when we are classing harms, we must include disinformation as a harm.
