Description
As platforms struggle to answer the ongoing questions of how to address hate online, a developed understanding of the social, political, and community influences that drive bad behavior can help us in designing stronger, more diverse online spaces. Here, academics and practitioners will dive into the roots of online trolling, misinformation, and hate as well as the opportunities to overcome echo chambers that perpetuate tribalism.
