For people interested in the spread of misinformation who want to hear from actual experts, this episode of @RiskyTalkPod is perfect

One point of consensus: censorship is rarely, if ever the answer, and not where we want to head as liberal democracies

If you feel like a chortle over my (lack of) musical taste, listen to me talking to the wonderful @laurenlaverne on DID at 11am tomorrow, Radio 4. Rather rare to have a life’s ambition fulfilled.

@BBCMoreOrLess This episode (https://t.co/6hCs6bia80) of @RiskyTalkPod from @PuzzlesTheWill @ChloeColliver2 @LauraEdelson2 @Sander_vdLinden and @d_Spiegel discussing misinformation and what to do about it, was outstanding.

[Barry Tennison @Bari10]

This is a VERY good podcast, with expert talk about social media, mis- and dis-information, what is known and what might be done (not very optimistic, though…)

[Michelle Bowen @stattymichelle]

Boxing Day reading! 🥳 Husband managed to find a book by the wonderful @d_spiegel I actually haven’t read yet! #datageek #statistics #bookworm

@Dr_ScottMc Ummm...you disagree that vaccines save lives!?

[Infoology Podcast @Infoologypod]

Great talk with a great panel. Love the concept of the "truth sandwich" method of factchecking. 🥪 fact-myth debunk-fact 🥪

[Cambridge University @Cambridge_Uni]
