Techno-Feudalism: Big Carbon and Big Tech’s Disinfo

Climate Action Against Disinformation would like to invite you to Techno-Feudalism: Big Carbon and Big Tech’s Disinfo, a webinar on Wednesday about how Big Tech and Big Carbon’s team-up makes disinformation an even bigger problem than ever before. Fortunately, we’ll be talking about some big solutions, as Brazil takes the reins on international climate negotiations ahead of COP30.

This CAAD webinar will feature Professor Jennifer Jacquet, to discuss research on Big Ag’s climate disinfo, followed by new findings on Big Tech’s bad behaviour from the Center for Countering Digital Hate’s Imran Ahmed. Having laid bare the problems, we’ll hear about some potential solutions from Founder and CEO of FALA, Thais Lazzeri, who will offer some hope about Brazil’s pursuit of real regulations and policy changes to stop the spread of disinformation. After that, we’ll open the floor for attendees to ask questions and share their own perspectives.

Speakers:

Jennifer Jacquet, Professor of Environmental Science and Policy at the Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science at the University of Miami
Imran Ahmed, Center for Countering Digital Hate
Thais Lazzeri, Founder and CEO of FALA
