What to do when we can’t trust our own eyes (or at least, the videos we are looking at.
I spoke last weekend at a panel discussion on Navigating Lies, Deepfakes & Fake News, organised by McPherson Independent. This a group promoting the idea of an independent community candidate in the electorate of McPherson south of Brisbane, currently held by the (centre-right to right) Liberal National Party. It’s part of the broader disillusionment with the two-party system we are seeing in Australia and also in the recent UK election.
It was a great discussion. I prepared some preliminary notes, which I’ve provided below. Comments and constructive criticism most welcome
