Description
The Internet has become a digital town square where publics engage in social, political, and economic activities. While nations have increasingly acted towards the creation of best practices and regulations in streamlining economic processes, less value is attached to social interaction and even less to political information sharing. In this lightning talk, we draw attention to the role of political advertisements in social media and how they seek to disrupt democracies worldwide. We introduce the audience to the draft Principles on Election Integrity based on the principles of natural law and the Kantian approach to democracy.
The London Story has a wide range of experience in organising hybrid, in-person, and online events over the years. We will use facilities like Open Talk, and Zoom (with potential translator function) to help facilitate the participation and discussions with the online attendees. The moderator and technical support person(s) will be responsible for ensuring a smooth functioning and gathering of online questions.Since the lightening talk is prepared as a fire-side event, it will involve interaction between participants and the speakers, this would be initiated through active prompts by the moderators, use of collaborative boards in physical and online space before the start of the talk to engage audience and sharing of results from these boards towards the conclusion of the talk. We plan to use Open Talk, Mentimeter, and the Mirro board.
