[Information] KGRI2040/CCRC Joint Symposium: Implication of Ukraine-Russia Digital Conflict on Democracy (June 24, 2022)
2022.05.31Co-hosted by: - KGRI Research Project Keio 2040, Keio University - Cyber Civilization Research Center (CCRC), Keio University
*This symposium is part of the "MUFG Endowed Course: Rebuilding of "Trust" towards Sustainable Society: "2040" and beyond" and the "ZHD Endowed Course: The Platform Economy and the Sustainable Society"
Overview
When the war in Ukraine began to unfold, we saw the deployment of psychological manipulation strategies via social networks by those in power. At the same time, people are also using social media platforms as a means of resistance against the infringement of sovereignty towards democratic nation-states. Are social networks a tool to defend democracy or a threat to its existence? Is it still possible to sustain democracy after the emerging conflicts in the digital space? We invite Professor Lawrence Lessig, who has been vocal about his concern over the threats to democracies posed by social networks, to discuss the implication of Ukraine-Russia digital conflict on democracy.
