Kicking things off with our #DigitalSherlocks in Brussels

@GrahamBrookie says the 100+ Sherlocks with us this week are “the best of the best.”

@LAndriukaitis welcomes them and @jean_leroux introduces the first Sherlock challenge, based on a real-life disinfo campaign.

#360OS
First up, @acarvin and @laylamashkoor lead a conversation about a complicated and fundamental topic: ethics in open source investigations.

“Honestly, it’s more than just the methods. It’s the movement. It’s all of us,” @acarvin says.

#360OS
.@laylamashkoor notes that a standardized code of ethics doesn’t exist for OSINT researchers the way it does for lawyers, doctors, etc. Because of that, she says, it’s important for the community to discuss and debate these issues together and strive for high standards.

Though Brazil has cracked down on "fake news," @camposmello explains that the lack of enforcement has allowed misinformation to continue to flourish alongside government influence operation:

“We absolutely need to be focusing on [the social media] industry and exposing wrongdoing and nudging it into better behavior. That's something that's going to benefit the industry itself." #360OS

#360OS is LIVE - Fighting online extremism in the future w/ @NicholasRasmu15, @georgetownICAP's Mary McCord, @amyspitanick, @RachelMGillum, moderator @grahambrookie pscp.tv/w/c6IUlDFETEVC…
"There's no one brand of extremism that stops at the borders of any country. There are just different ideologies that are shared, in many cases globally." #360OS

👤|Mary McCord, @georgetownICAP
What are the markers on the path from radicalization to violence in both the international & domestic terrorism spheres?

An indicator for @georgetownICAP's Mary McCord is that once general ideological propaganda changes into logistical planning, the threat escalates. #360OS

LIVE NOW from #360OS—Social media in war and peace with @nouraaljizawi, @maude_morrison0, @JaneEsberg, @markdsilverman, and moderator @arjunbisen1 pscp.tv/w/c6H4hjFETEVC…
“Data can also only get us so far in conflict zones because the role of social media is so heavily contextual. Social media really tends to be the most harmful when it's amplifying and reflecting back underlying tensions in these conflict zones.” #360OS

👤|@JaneEsberg
“Mediators should explore the potential of social media integration into peace agreements. Conflict parties might actually agree to exercise restraint in the online space the same way they agree to stop fighting physically via a ceasefire agreement.” #360OS

👤|@ousfourita, human rights lawyer
“Given the time in history, it's an interesting time to experiment with how the internet, in general, has completely disrupted the relationship between governing bodies & citizens. I think the Facebook @OversightBoard is a result of this conversation.” #360OS

#360OS is LIVE - Chinese tech in the world w/ Puma Shen, @alexandriasaha, @joshchin, @lotus_ruan, and moderator @isaacstonefish pscp.tv/w/c6HjNDFETEVC…
"I call it investment strategy, which means that [China] tries to invest in the entertainment enterprise, the PR firms, and try to have them to help them spread disinformation locally in their country and here in Taiwan." #360OS 

👤|Puma Shen
"The party in Xinjiang shows is what can happen when States use technology with no limits to exert control on the population. It's not just control, but it's actively trying to shape a population's behavior and identity." #360OS

What geopolitical trends arose during the pandemic?

@elisethoma5 says, legitimate political actors used this infodemic to crackdown on free speech OR legitimate political actors flirted with conspiracy theories or disinformation where it was politically advantageous. #360OS
"Currently Russia is dealing with the new Delta variant, which is basically forcing people to take the vaccine. Before this narrative was used to show that other countries need to make people take the vaccine and make Russia look Democratic." #360OS

LIVE - A #360OS discussion on disinformation in Africa featuring @awildknight, @daddyhope, @RMAjayi, @thandismith, and @k_ramali. pscp.tv/w/1ypKdgwkdgdxW
This year, multiple African leaders have throttled internet access.

"What we've seen is that activists will always use a platform. It doesn't really matter if there's a ban. If the Internet itself is switched off, they will figure out a way to use it."

👤|@RMAjayi
“One key reason why governments shut down the internet, particularly during elections, is their inability to control narratives and their poor understanding of online harms and how to address them.” #360OS

Missed information: Gaps in online research with @AlyssaKann, @lageneralista, @dann_acosta, @LouMarieHSD, @yoyoel, and Joanna Rohozińska. #360OS pscp.tv/w/c6C11TFETEVC…
What we consume online can be just as impactful as the things we experience IRL. @dann_acosta says it ”can affect researchers’ mental health. We see terrible content in the darkest corners of the Internet, and that also has an effect on the people doing this research.” #360OS
"There's a lack of research standards. There are no universal standards for how investigations are conducted and much of the investigative work happens outside the peer-review process." #360OS

@lageneralista explains how this affects our understanding of data.

TUNE IN to a special #360OS #ACFrontPage conversation with @DFRLab Senior Fellow and former Wikimedia CEO @krmaher, moderated by @BrandyZadrozny pscp.tv/w/c6COSDFETEVC…
Wikipedia "started from a position that it needed to earn trust, rather than having institutional trust… It invites the public in to say when we get things wrong. I think that that's one thing that institutions should be looking to emulate." #360OS #ACFrontPage 

👤|@krmaher
“Wikipedia isn't a free expression platform. It's about creating content that people can have confidence in and use to make determinations in their lives. So that right to have access to high integrity content often trumps the right to speech.” #360OS #ACFrontPage

Tuning in to @DFRLab's virtual conference now, with @GrahamBrookie & @Rosejackson3 kicking off, recounting just how much happened in the last year.

Next up: @krmaher & @BrandyZadrozny.

I'm looking forward to learning more about DFR's new Democracy & Tech Initiative.

#360OS
Lives on Twitter via @AtlanticCouncil. @krmaher noted access to free knowledge is fundamentally disruptive to closed societies & governments aground the world.
She said @Wikimedia has built out the @wikipedia platform to be resilient against country-specific takedowns. #360OS
Can for-profit tech companies do what @Wikipedia has done?
@krmahawr models that bring people into setting policies for content & community standards. It’s expensive, hard, & takes years, she says, but products will be better in the long-term & mitigate negative harms. #360OS
