b'Disinformation and culture wars are an existential problem for democracies. They foster negative feedback loops: whereby internal divisions inside democracies make us more vulnerable to hostile external actors spewing misinformation, who then exploit those divisions to create more vulnerability to misinformation, culminating in culture wars. These kind of negative feedback loops are another symptom of our era of Global Enduring Disorder.\\n\\xa0\\nIn this week\\u2019s episode, Alex and Jason are joined by Laura Thornton, Senior Vice President for democracy at GMF. They discuss how social media algorithms promote disinformation, culture wars, and a rise in contempt for experts. In the Ordering the Disorder section, they\\u2019ll talk about the fight for neutral facts and how we could rethink our electoral systems to strengthen our democracies in the UK and US.\\n\\xa0\\nTwitter: @DisorderShow\\n\\xa0\\nWebsite:\\xa0https://natoandtheglobalenduringdisorder.com/unregulated-cyberspace\\n\\xa0\\nProducer: George McDonagh\\nExec Producer: Neil Fearn\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nShow Notes Links\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nRead Brian Klaas\\u2019 article on Trump and Mark Milley here\\n\\xa0\\nFor more on Laura Thornton\\u2019s work visit here\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
