On Thursday, october 15, 2020 at 1:30 pm ET, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HSPCI) will convene a virtual unclassified hearing entitled, "Misinformation, Conspiracy Theories and 'Infodemics': Stopping the Spread Online."
Conspiracy theories and misinformation narratives that prey on the individuals' fears and uncertainties continue to mar the online landscape. Against the backdrop of a global pandemic, an economy in turmoil, and a tumultuous presidential campaign, there is ample terrain for malicious actors at home or malign foreign operatives and governments abroad to exploit such tensions by stoking chaos and dangerous, even life-threatening, untruths. Recent trends in the spread and reach of misleading or unfounded claims online have the unsettling potential to come to a head after Election Day - particularly if the certified outcome is unknown or contested in the ensuing days and weeks.
Although the seeds for many conspiracies and misinformation narratives - ranging from baseless QAnon posts, to dangerous coronavirus skepticism and denialism, to falsehoods about mail-in ballots - are often homegrown and amplified by American voices, the propaganda and cover influence machines of foreign adversaries have nonetheless repeated and amplified them in the service of strategic interests.
