Digital Defenders: Cracking the Code—Understanding Platforms, Algorithms & Power

From the Womens’ March Network:

We exist in a technological ecosystem where billionaires control the flow of information. Two of the most widely used social media platforms are owned by billionaires—President Musk and Disinfo Daddy Zuckerberg—who have enabled disinformation and digital manipulation that fuels rising authoritarianism. They’ve rigged the algorithmic game in their favor, but we’re here to expose their playbook.

Join Dr. Heather Woods and Dr. Leslie Hahner for a deep dive into the mechanics of digital power. We’ll unpack how platforms and algorithms operate, who controls them, and what we can do to outsmart the system and strengthen our resistance online.

What you’ll learn:

How social media algorithms amplify or suppress content
Who profits from disinformation and digital manipulation
How billionaire-controlled platforms are shaping our political landscape
How to navigate and disrupt algorithmic bias to make our resistance louder

Big Tech may set the rules, but we decide how to play the game. RSVP now and bring a friend—because understanding the system is the first step to changing it.Cracking the Code—Understanding Platforms, Algorithms & Power
