Episode notes

This chapter explores how Facebook found that removing the reshare button after content has been shared once effectively addresses hate speech and misinformation. It also emphasizes the significance of platform mechanics and friction in slowing down the spread of viral content and highlights the need for better tools and clear requests from policymakers and company personnel for a successful election.

2024 will be the biggest election year in world history. Forty countries will hold national elections, with over two billion voters heading to the polls. In this episode of Your Undivided Attention, two experts give us a situation report on how AI will increase the risks to our elections and our democracies.

Correction: Tristan says two billion people from 70 countries will be undergoing democratic elections in 2024. The number expands to 70 when non-national elections are factored in.
