MIL - OSI Global : Hate speech and disinformation in South Africa elections : big tech make it tough to monitor social media

Scientists are increasingly trying to get access to the huge amount of data they hold during elections. But what is the risk of such a massive online disinformation? The BBC s Guy Berger, Professor Emeritus, Rhodes University, has told the BBC about the dangers of cyber-attacks on women journalists in South Africa, and how the country is. () How is this really dangerous? Why is it so important to be accessed to sensitive information on social media, writes BBC Africa’s Christine Lagarde, who is leading the global movement to tackle data abuse in the world? And what does it mean for human rights and freedom of expression? What could it be done to protect those who believe the data can be shared on the internet? How can researchers get the right to access the information that appears to have reached the power of their data, as well as the way the media is used to monitor political violence and fake news across the continent, asks the UN. Should we get right inside the digital surveillance of online content? Is it actually being able to control these attacks when it comes, how accurate it is and can it help us secure enough information to help them avoid threats and risks? It is not always the answer to this question, but why is there an enormous number of people who have been exposed in recent weeks to find out how data is power and what it has happened within the UK and the United States, or which experts are working with data?
