About the event
Join us for a discussion about Katie Harbath's new book, Disrupting Politics, in which she shares hard-earned wisdom from two decades inside the tension between technology and democracy. From helping invent digital campaign tactics to shaping global elections as a Facebook executive, Katie will explore the defining moments that reshaped the relationship between platforms and politics-including the 2016 election, the dismantling of platform integrity teams, and the realities of governing speech online.
The event will feature a fireside chat moderated by Emerging Technologies Initiative Director Olga Belogolova.
