Book Talk with Dr. J.J. Sylvia IV: LiveJournal and Russian Disinformation
3:30pm - 5:00pm Hammond Hall | Archives and Special Collections Room S03About This Event
In LiveJournal and Russian Disinformation, J.J. Sylvia IV analyzes the role of blogging platform LiveJournal in Russia's information warfare strategy, examining its evolution and co-optation as a case study. Through rigorous analysis, Sylvia demonstrates how epistemic sabotage became central to the Kremlin's efforts to manipulate truth, and more broadly, how the ever-increasing reach of the internet and social media platforms can be weaponized by authoritarian regimes to disrupt knowledge systems and destabilize democracies.
