Politics, media, and facts: Munich Security Conference will take place this weekend. Tomorrow there will be an interesting presentation:
„Fake it, Hack it, Leak it, Spread it? A “Post-Truth World” and the Defense of Democracy“
This event is open to the public, but unfortunately fully booked.
However, there will be a livestream tomorrow, Feb 16th, from 16:00 to 18:00 accessible via Facebook, Youtube, and their webpage.
Fake News and the Defense of Democracy will play a role also in European politics this year (elections in the Netherlands, France, Germany). And for any political matter, e.g. also topics like migration and refugees, wars, conflicts, natural or man-made disasters, it is essential to have reliable facts, numbers, and statistics.
