And one of the takeaways I've had from all the conversations I've had,

is that there's so much work to be done in all of these different fronts.

On the legal front, on the content front, on the social media approach front,

on the individual responsibility front, that we're just really, really chipping away

at a giant mountain. And I don't think this year is going to solve it for us.

I think we're on the right track because there is progress being made.

There's more research coming out. There's new things that when the companies are trying

the regulators will be trying this year. But I think we're not prepared for

really basic manipulation schemes. Everybody is really concerned about synthetic media.

I'm a little bit less concerned about that, but if there was a disinformation campaign

around a deep fake audio or video, I think we would just be completely caught by surprise.

I'm Quinted Jurassic, and this is the LawFair podcast, January 9, 2020.

Our Arbiters of Truth series on disinformation is back for the new year.

and what we should expect for the year to come.
