my notes ( ? )

the Election Integrity Partnership and Disinfo Defense League ... two initiatives among hundreds ... reflect two mutually reinforcing sides of the same ecosystem... people devoting their livelihoods to combatting online misinformation and disinformation... These are their stories...

EIP is uniquely close to the platforms, using Jira to communicate with election integrity teams at 7 major ones... reporting content in violation of the platforms' specific policies - speaking their language...

Disinfo Defense League's inoculation strategy: protecting communities of color targeted by suppression-oriented misinformation ... created specialized memes, videos, webinars... a "Disinfo Defense Toolkit" ... focused on community education and playing defense.
