One of the biggest threats we face to democracy is disinformation.

Our friend's at @MediaRevolution have pulled together Eliot Higgins, the founder of Bellingcat, and Carole Cadwalladr, an investigative journalist working on Big Tech, to a focused panel at the RSA.

If you're in London next week, we'd highly recommend checking it out and meeting these brilliant people face to face.

For example, there is insufficient information on Larry Ellison's role in the Jan 6 disinformation.

The Bradley Foundation was not the only #BigLie funder for 2020. There were others.
