On the Duality of Metadata: Potential Uses and Abuses of Provenance Information (DCMI)

Thursday, June 13, 2024 (11:00 AM - 12:00 PM) (EDT)

Description

In the past decade, critical internet studies scholars and disinformation researchers have discovered how metadata can be exploited to craft deceptive narratives and influence public discourse on platforms. This talk explores some tactics used by bad actors to manipulate social media platforms and evade content moderation by obfuscating provenance information; highlighting the importance of metadata in identifying disinformation and current responses managing the risks of deceptive content spread across platforms. Provenance information serves as the foundation for responsible data management, data exchange and reuse. But as platforms evolve, this same metadata can be manipulated by bad actors to craft deceptive narratives and spread disinformation. 

This is a DCMI Webinar organized by the Dublin Core Education Committee and moderated by Education Committee co-chair Karen Wickett. For free registration use the registration code DCMI25.
