Disinformation, Misinformation, and Fake News Teach-Out

In this step, Ben Nimmo, Director of Investigations for network analysis firm Graphika, discusses trends of disinformation within election cycles around the world. He mentions three questions to consider around election times:

• Where are these claims coming from?
• If they are leaks, how were they obtained?
• If they are claims of interference in an election, where is the evidence?

Reflection: What have you heard about election interference lately? How do the sources of those claims relate to these three questions?
