Report
Esosa Osa, the founder and CEO of Onyx Impact, an organization that fights the harmful information ecosystems that target Black communities, discusses how misinformation and disinformation campaigns target the Black community and voters. Osa served as the Senior Advisor to Stacey Abrams' gubernatorial campaign, and is the former deputy direction of Fair Fight Action — roles which helped hone her skills in spotting and combatting disinformation campaigns which targeted Black voters. She also explains the role of social media platforms, like TikTok, Facebook, and Twitter, play in helping to proliferate harmful disinformation, as well as, the role of foreign-influence campaigns, like the Russian tactics employed during the 2016 election cycle. Lastly, we discuss the role of AI and how the quickly evolving technology will make it even harder to detect, and fight disinformation.
