We saw that really with the US election this time – so much disinformation. What lessons, what tools – what can they use? What are some solutions?
It has the same sting in English. I would say that. [laughs]
People will just lobby that at you in interviews these days.
“Oh, you’re fake news.” It’s been happening since Trump became president.
Content workers.
