LouieI'm looking into exploring political disinformation on social media platforms. I want to focus on platforms like Facebook. I think about "The Facebook Dilemma" documentary and the issues that arose during the 2016 election. With this topic, I can explore how people on these platforms use their freedom of speech in misleading ways. I plan to analyze the role that algorithms play in amplifying disinformation and the ethical implications of content moderation, especially when it comes to politics.
Double J@LouieB Dr. Moody and I have a chapter on the Russian interference in the 2016 election that I can send if that might be helpful? You'll need to narrow this to focus on one specific example/case, rather than thinking broadly about the role of algorithms and disinformation. Do you want to pick a particular issue or particular election or particular entity responsible for disinfo ot analyze?
