The Director of the Laboratory for Internet and Social Media Studies at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (NetLab UFRJ), Marie Santini, and the Researcher and General Coordinator, Débora Salles, participated in the episode of the podcast ‘The Networks of Discord’, produced by the communications group Dirty Science.
In episode No. 4, released on December 5, the researchers highlight that social networks and digital platforms facilitate the dissemination of misinformation and conspiracy theories, often profiting from the engagement generated by this content, contributing to the growth of the disinformation industry.
The episode with the NetLab researchers is available on Spotify.
