Do We Overestimate Disinformation?

  • Date: 19.02.25
  • Location: Online
  • Time: 12:00 h

In this Lunchtalk, Prof. Dr. Matthias C. Kettemann talks about platform regulation, the normative order of the internet and the current challenges and ways to an informed public. How does disinformation affect our democracy – and is all the talk about it perhaps the bigger problem? He refers to the study Information Ecosystems and Troubled Democracy, in which he was involved. The Launchtalk “Überschätzen wir Desinformation?” [Do We Overestimate Disinformation?] will be held in German.

Moderator: Dr. Benedikt Fecher, Science in Dialogue
