Reclaim Social Podcast S02E04 – Countering digital hate and misinformation with Imran Ahmed (CCDH)

Tereza Litsa, October 6, 2020

The fourth episode for S02 of the Reclaim Social Podcast is now live! 🎉

Our latest guest for the second season is Imran Ahmed, CEO of Centre for Countering Digital Hate, a not-for-profit NGO that seeks to disrupt the architecture of online hate and misinformation.

We discussed how social media has contributed to the rise of online hate and misinformation, the impact of COVID-19 and the spread of anti-vaccine information. We also talked about everyone’s responsibilities on individual and platform level and the best way to get tech companies to address the existing problems.

Imran also shared his thoughts on movements like “Stop hate for-profit” and how they can contribute to a big change in the online world.

Enjoy the episode! 🎧
