The Disinformers: Social Media, Disinformation and Elections
Lance Porter (Editor.). (2024). The Disinformers: Social Media, Disinformation and Elections, Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press.
Overview: The Disinformers uncovers the people and the organizations behind the disinformation campaigns that began on social media with the 2016 US presidential election and reached a violent crescendo with the storming of the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Edited by social media researcher Lance Porter, this vital collection of interdisciplinary scholarship analyzes how foreign interference destabilized political conversations, stoked racial tensions, and spread disinformation across social media platforms to produce increasing friction among voters.
