Dominique Cardon: The New Borders of the Internet
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: June 5, 2018, 19:00 – 21:00
The rise of the internet and ever increasing volumes of information raise a number of fundamental questions: How do social networks influence the circulation of information and the formation of opinion? What role did fake news and social media play in the democratic process in the US elections and Brexit? How can we control internet giants of the type of Google, Facebook, Apple and Amazon? How is data mining used?
These and other questions will be answered by the French internet expert and sociologist Dominique Cardon, director of the MediaLab at SciencesPo in Paris and the author of numerous academic publications. The names of Czech guests will be confirmed.
The debate will take place in French and Czech, with simultaneous translation provided.
Organised by the Václav Havel Library in cooperation with Prague’s Institut français.
