WhatsApp in the World: Disinformation, Encryption, and Extreme Speech

Event has passed

Hosted by Berkman Klein Center

How is WhatsApp, the most popular instant messaging platform, mediating the spread of extreme speech in different contexts of the world? What does a global view of the actual practices around this popular medium say about the promise of “encryption” as a technological feature?

BKC is pleased to welcome Fellow and LMU professor Sahana Udupa to discuss the forthcoming edited volume WhatsApp in the World: Disinformation, Encryption and Extreme Speech with Faculty Associate and Harvard professor Gabriella Coleman.
