How do false or misleading narratives about climate change spread across social media platforms? This webinar will explore case studies, including the LA wildfires and East Coast hurricanes, that demonstrate how mis- and disinformation can cross over into other risk areas – hate, harassment, health misinformation, and ultimately violence. We will also discuss the policy implications, particularly in the context of the Digital Services Act (DSA).

This webinar is sponsored by Resolver, a Kroll business.
