Josh at SXSW 2020: Democracy in the Era of Disinformation

We are excited to announce that Swash Labs Founder and CEO Josh Berthume will be speaking at next year’s SXSW in Austin, TX alongside Truman National Security Project fellows Jennifer Atala and Kiril Avramov. Their panel is titled “Democracy in the Era of Disinformation” and we’ve got a synopsis right here:

The panel will discuss the implications of disinformation in the 2020 election and beyond. Growing cybersecurity threats are disrupting democracies and relationships around the world. Truman National Security Project proposes to convene a three to five-person panel and moderator with expertise in information warfare, mass cognitive hacking, digital risk in political communication, information operations, and political warfare. The purpose of this panel is to inform policy-makers, tech industry, and cybersecurity experts. The moderator will guide discussion with informed questioning, and Q&A with the audience. We are a nation-wide network of national security experts many of whom have expertise in this field and are actively engaged and serving on the front edge challenge.
