Guests: Maria Barsallo Lynch, Siobhan Gorman, and Robby Mook of Harvard’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.

Mis/Disinformation and the 2020 Presidential Election.

In this episode of Think Bad Do Good, join cybersecurity and public affairs experts Robby Mook, Siobhan Gorman, and Maria Barsallo Lynch of Harvard’s Defending Digital Democracy project as they discuss the coming presidential election and how state and local government officials and American citizens can take steps to assure its integrity.

Over the last four years these individuals have played significant leadership roles in the United States in helping the states learn about and prepare for cyberspace operations and disinformation operations alike, and last week the Harvard team released The Election Influence Operations Playbook, Part 1, to help election officials manage the threat of disinformation operations to the election.

Defending Digital Democracy was founded in the aftermath of the 2016 election by a group of bipartisan policy, technology, and political leaders to help defend the country’s democratic processes in cyberspace. Since then the Harvard team has produced over half a dozen playbooks and landmark research projects and engaged state, local, and federal government organizations as they address cybersecurity risks to the U.S. democratic process.
