In this session, we’ll look at how disinformation incubates in the internet’s “long tail” before it makes its way into mainstream media. We’ll look at how irresponsible programmatic advertising is incentivizing the growth of disinformation and spreading hate around the world. Learn how it works, and how to put a stick in the spokes of this trainwreck industry.
