Social media is no longer a fad or what you do for fun at night. Instead social media plays a big role in how to connect with citizens and improve collaboration in public service agencies. This session will teach you how to use social media effectively in government from tactical tips to insight on navigating the legal and security hurdles.
Facebook lancia l'allarme: tentativi di propaganda e manipolazione dell'informazione, apparentemente orchestrati da governi o soggetti organizzati, sfruttando le 'fake news' ma anche profili falsi che puntano a influenzare l'opinione pubblica.
We set out to answer these questions and ended up writing “Our Playbook for Digital Crisis Management 3.0.” Born out of our global experience preparing for and responding to brand and corporate crises, it’s now part of our global training program.
We wanted to understand how social media was fundamentally changing the way we approach crisis management. We wanted to marry established crisis practices with the most evolved thinking in social media marketing and social business practices. We also wanted to be highly practical – today’s experts need a suite of apps they can quickly access when a crisis threatens to break.
European public and policy elite views of US tech companies
This presentation explores consumer attitudes to US tech companies in France, Germany, the UK and Brussels, how that interacts with media coverage, and what is driving the European regulatory agenda towards the internet and technology companies.

REPLY TO EACH POST 100 WORDS MIN EACH1. This week we wer.docxchris293
**REPLY TO EACH POST 100 WORDS MIN EACH**
1. This week we were asked to discuss what the implications were of globalization on homeland security. Globalization is the international integration of markets for goods, services, and capital. Globalization has allowed for countries to trade and communicate in ways they never could before and faster than ever before. This does lead to complication when it comes to national security. The United States has been one of the leading technology and economic produces within the world. It is targeted by adversaries because of its strengths in these areas. Globalization has lead to cyberspace crimes, intellectual property theft, and attacks on critical infrastructures. While it has made life simpler it has created a huge target upon the United States. Jobs, goods, technology have been diminished because they are being produced in other countries for a cheaper price. (Lewis, 2004) Terrorist organizations have been utilizing the advancements in cyberspace and communication to their advantages by being able to reach and train individuals virtually without bringing them to their training camps. This makes conducting business less visible and keeps them from being detected. They can also use the internet and social media to spread propaganda and their messages are open for anyone to see at any time. This causes major security concerns because of the steady increase of homegrown extremists and lone wolf actors. While globalization has brought people together it has also opened the door to those who wish harm upon the United States.
2. Good afternoon Professor and Classmates, For this week’s question, we were asked to identify what the implications of globalization on homeland security are. Globalization is multifaceted and includes IT (information technologies) as well as other tech, stateside and global trading, and interdependencies. These are not all inclusive, however, the evolution of globalization has the ability for us here in the United States to achieve economic prosperity, sharing of political freedom, and promoting peace. Meanwhile, the implications which are produced from globalization include social divides, critical vulnerabilities, and conflicts including violence. Globalization can create numerous implications for us here in the United States. It was interesting to find out from the readings how it is believed that our national security is becoming more concentrated, centralized, and consolidated across three dimensions. These three dimensions are power across spheres, power across jurisdictions, and power within any government agency. Furthermore, power across jurisdictions (public-private, federal-state, and Intra-agency) is where I will focus as there was some interesting information I discovered during my readings. The public-private relationships have created a bond where if this relationship became limited, this would affect what the government knows and be limited to informati.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Final Problem Statement
The U.S.'s ability to close the disinformation
response kill chain is hampered by a lack of
coordination between U.S. government
agencies, no clear ownership of the
disinformation problem, and a lack of clear
guidelines on public-private partnerships.

3. We walked in with a tech hammer, and all we
could think was… where are the nails?
Disinformation is a tech problem
1
The U.S. government can’t do much
to monitor disinformation because of
slow tech adoption
2
Tech companies and algorithms are
the best hope to solving this
disinformation problem

Social media and the web:
Twitter, Facebook, Youtube
Foreign actors have different approaches to
disinformation, but they all rely on tech platforms
8. BIG IDEA #1
Tech platforms are the common thread across
various foreign powers enabling spread of
disinformation
9. We assumed platforms didn’t care about
disinformation and didn’t make it a priority BUT
1. Platforms actually care about addressing disinformation
2. Platforms don't collaborate on disinformation strategies
3. Platforms don’t know what’s expected of them
Weeks 3-5 Mental state: ️
10. BIG IDEA: Tech companies are working in the dark
without collaboration with the U.S. government
or other tech companies.
“We don't have any communication with
other tech platforms, even though we're all
part of the disinformation supply chain.”
- Google PM
11. Spread of disinformation can be broken down

12. Different factors drive each stage of the
disinformation supply chain
Lies created with specific
intent, fabricated to play into
psychology
Eg. China spreads
disinformation with the goal of
increasing acceptance of
Chinese cultural and economic
norms in the Asian diaspora.

13. The spread of disinformation can be amplified by
black-box algorithms in service of clickbait
Political economy of clickbait
It can be lucrative to post disinformation
because of ad revenue.
Tech companies create their
own individual standards

14. Disinformation targets existing social divides,
making lies easy to buy into
Disinformation created to hack
into people’s psychology, prey
on vulnerability to spread
Americans are susceptible; we
are not taught media literacy

15. BIG IDEA
There’s no single entity looking across
each layer of the problem, and
coordinating a response strategy for
maximum effectiveness
18. ● The Nature of Lies
● Personalities of Leaders
● The Goals of Disinformation
● Roles and Risks to Partners, Allies
Parallels between today’s
disinformation and KGB/Cold War era
disinformation
1. Social media
a. Cheap and fast spread of
speech
2. The lack of response coordination
a. Active Measures Working Grp,
comprehensive response
… but there are a few key
differences in both the problem
and response:
Stage 3 Precursor: we have fought this war before
19. No one agency leads disinformation efforts, which
are scattered and rarely collaborative.
Department of
State
Global Engagement
Center, Active
Measures Working
Group (terminated)
Department of
Defense
Cyber
Command,
DARPA
Department of
Homeland
Security
Governance
Board
(terminated)
CIA, NSA and
others
Covert
FCC
(Limited only
to broadcast)
Tech Companies
Google, Meta,
Twitter,
Reddit,
Microsoft
20. BIG IDEA: US response is fragmented; agencies
collaborate ad hoc on disinformation with no
formal patterns of collaboration
"There’s no clear flowchart of where insights, issues, or
findings should go, so agency staffers end up just
reaching out to “buddies” or contacts in other agencies
- Former DHS staffer
Week 7 Mental state: ️
21. PIVOT!
NEW PROBLEM STATEMENT
A lack of interagency linkages and clear
problem-level ownership within the U.S.
government's disinformation response hinders it
from closing the kill chain.
Week 8 Mental state: ️
22. Solution: A national strategy with a
clear owner and mandate to align U.S.
government agencies and private
sector actors
Week 9 Mental state: ️
23. The national strategy should have an owner,
formal inter-agency collaboration, and public-
private collaboration
1. Designate an owner for the problem
a. Draw inspiration from the Active Measures Working Group
b. Give it a mandate that explicitly focuses on foreign disinformation
2. Build formal interagency linkages so that collaboration is easier
a. Create a clear organizational flow diagram of who oversees a given response
b. Create an interagency group to triage different trends and scenarios
3. Coordinate this response with social media companies
a. Cohesive and consistent response minimize the risk of being seen as partisan
b. Global Engagement Center can build strong relationships with tech companies to
coordinate responses across platforms
24. We propose a Disinformation Response Org Chart
with a clear owner and more formal links
DHS, CDC,
other
individual
agencies
Department
of Education
Intelligence
community
Diplomats
Active Measures
Working Group
Identify
Triage
Act
Global
Engagement
Center + tech
companies
Cyber
Command +

companies
25. We have open questions about our proposal
1. What are the tradeoffs of housing the Active Measures Working Group 2.0
in State vs Defense?
2. The US currently responds/retaliates to a very small proportion of
disinformation. What does proportional response even mean?
3. How can we include a long-term plan for dealing with this problem by
reforming education policy?

introduce story behind team babel name
humanity collaborated to build the largest tower - everyone could understand each other and spoke the same language
to punish the hubris of humanity, they were punished with different languages and had no shared basis of what truth was
read over problem statements
read over total interviews
Everyone!!

our assumption was that the solution would be driven by technology, we came up w 3 specific hypotheses
1, 2, 3 on slide
long story short, tech was the problem and solution to this problem.
Jackson
the 26 conversations with leaders across different domains addressing the problem changed our minds
Jackson
**emphasize that there are layers to the problem**
over the course of the 10 weeks, our emotional state ran the gamut from boundless optimism to utter dismay and despair
we discovered that there were problems behind the problem - and pivoting our attention from tech platforms to the role of the US govt to the structure of the agencies tackling the problem helped us address the root of the issue.
now, we’re going to take you on this journey step by step!
Andrew *Gesture*
Our initial problem statement was much too broad: “Disinformation is a national security threat.”
We worked to define disinformation, focusing on the different aspects of disinformation and the difference between mis and dis.
Then we tried to understand why disinformation has the potential to be a national security threat, and who/where it could target.
We looked at how working with private companies would be possible, and what companies were doing on their own individually to lower the threat of disinformation.
Finally, we chose to narrow our project down to foreign disinformation in the spirit of great power competition and the themes of this course.
We had to pinpoint these definition before we proceeded with our investigation!
Andrew
In studying foreign actors and disinformation, we learned that they often have different perpetrators, separate messaging aims, and different targets. The common thread we found was foreign actors’ reliance on using tech platforms to spread their malign information. This brought us to our first big idea:
Andrew
bueno! read it
Andrew
After speaking with experts from across tech platforms, such as Meta, Google, Youtube, and Jigsaw, what we discovered about tech platforms wasn’t quite what we expected.
We found that:
1) it is in the long-term incentives of platforms to minimizing disinformation.
(this makes for negative user experience, if people stop seeing the platform as trustworthy, it decreases usage over the long run and influences advertiser, negative press. NOT good for the brand image)
2) Platforms don't collaborate on disinformation strategies - people can follow disinformation from one platform to another
3) platforms don’t know what is expected of them - here are no clear U.S. standards or regulation that they are expected to comply with.
Andrea
** google/reddit example, emphasize supply chain**
But the biggest takeaway was that even though every tech company faced these problems, they were all addressing them in isolation.
In other words, each company understood that they were part of the disinformation supply chain - and saw only a portion of it.
An example of this is a user searching for something on Google, and being led to a disinformation post on Reddit. Google and Reddit here have no communication between each other.
Not only did this help us realize that tech companies are working in the dark, but that there are distinct stages to the spread of disinformation.
Andrea
Read it
Mohamed - the supply chain
*Prac paraphrasing*
convey: once we had broken problem down, our interviews involved understanding the factors that drove each stage.
Mohamed
lie: could be a lie placed by foreign actor, or an individual party looking to earn money
Mohamed
Shreyas
While understanding each stage of the supply chain and corresponding drivers was useful helpful,
our main finding was
Shreyas
This finding led us to a pivot.
We initially thought the problem would be centered on private tech companies, but then discovered that disinformation goes beyond an algorithm-only problem.
The U.S. government has an important role to play in coordinating collaboration between tech companies and the way disinformation is handled across platforms.
Shreyas
In making this pivot, one key learning was that the US beat back disinformation before, most recently during the Cold War
For example, during the cold war, the USSR tried to spread disinfo in africa and the US that AIDS was created in a US lab. Operation infektion!
USSR trying to get at existing societal divides
shreyas
Parallels between today’s disinformation and KGB/Cold War era disinformation
Nature of lies:
Based on exacerbating divisions that already exist in society
How lies spread:
Start a story, them slowly legitimize and amplify it as it picks up
Personalities of leaders
Putin graduated from the KGB school named after a Cold War KGB chief
Goals
4D’s - disorient, divide, deceive and disguise
Role and risks to partners / allies / developing countries
Was true then and remains true today
… but there are a few key differences in both the problem and response:
The lack of response coordination
No “Active Measures Working Group”;
There is a lack of comprehensive response,
Lack of willingness to own the problem
Social media:
Social media is a prevalent source of news, where there is minimal collaboration to respond to disinformation.
The speed/scale at which information spreads remains higher than ever.
Digital Literacy:
In the past, the AMWG used “RAP”: Report, Analyze, Publish…. and this is still necessary, but this needs to be accompanied by a push for digital literacy
Let’s dive into the US response today a little more;
A lot of agencies have to tackle disinformation but
shreyas
FCC - federal communications commission
A lot of different agencies with groups and teams focused on disinformation - a fragmented rather than centralized approach!!
Shreyas
What was particularly surprising was
keely
We discovered that the U.S. has the tools, manpower, technology, and is quite aware of the problem; we have the tools to triage and address the problem, but the lack of a clear strategy hurts our efforts to close the kill chain and actually respond to foreign disinfo threats.
keely
getting to a text heavy slide next but dont worry!!!!

andrea
bring back something similar to the active measure working group
drawing inspiration from the active measures working group
separate into stages of disinfo kill chain
intelligence community- experience in assessing threats to national security
diplomats: coordinate intelligence sharing with allies, bring in broader view of problem to better triage
cyber command: boots on the ground experience implementing tech solutions
DoE: more long-term action, increasing American digital media literacy
andrea- here are a few important open questions, we'd love to discuss them with you
Andrea- and we'll also take your questions at this time.
