## Resource

From April 16, 2020: On this episode of Lawfare 's Arbiters of Truth series on disinformation, Evelyn Douek and Quinta Jurecic spoke with Camille François, the Chief Innovation Officer at Graphika, where she works to identify and mitigate disinformation and misinformation online. On April 15, Graphika released a report on an Iranian influence operation focused on COVID-19, an operation blaming the United States for supposedly creating the virus and praising China’s response to the pandemic. Camille discussed what Graphika found and how this campaign compares to similar operations in the past—like another campaign from Ghana that Graphika helped uncover , which was linked to Russia and posted content aimed at black Americans. And they discussed the “ ABC framework ” that Camille has developed to understand disinformation campaigns. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
