In the first part of the show, Brittney interviews Dr. Tim Tangherlini, a professor in the Scandanavian Department at UC Berkeley. He was formerly at UCLA where he collaborated with colleagues in the engineering and computer science department on a paper called, An automated pipeline for the discovery of conspiracy and conspiracy theory narrative frameworks. In our conversation we talk about the difference between conspiracies and conspiracy theories, how conspiracy theory narratives fall apart computationally, and how we can slow the spread of conspiracy theories.
In the second part of the show, Digital Village reporter Leilani Albano talks to the EFF’s Danny O’Brien about the NSA’s surveillance of people in the EU.
