In Chapter 8 @SimoneToussi unpacks claims about digital disinformation in Cameroon’s 2018 presidential election. Her evidence shows that all sides engaged in digital disinformation tactics either to retain, contest or take power.

New evidence shows politicians in Africa have been using digital disinformation campaigns, using doctored images, false videos, trolls & bots to disrupt debate and drown-out dissent.
