XDS: Fake News (TBD)

Despite efforts from governments and tech-giants the problem of fakes, cyber bullying and sensationalist news reigns strong. Online anonymity and obscurity of sources is a major factor that prevents accountability and fact checking.

A BBC expert in the fight against Fake News will join us for a technical showcase and debate, as we share ways to track the provenance of content online. At the end of the evening the best contribution will be awarded $100.

Come to the session prepared with suggestions for (scaleable) ideas to trace the first publicly available instance of a fake story. Even better if your process include ways to track use and corruption of images/ new stories over time.

Date & Location:
TBD
