  023 12-05 BNUG Meeting  — Social Media in War and Social Media in Peace

  The BNUG meeting will start at 7 pm on Zoom and meet in the Board Room at Mass Bay Community College. The Board Room is in the second floor, down the hall from the library on the right. Please call Adam at 617-522-1049 if you are lost.

  SPECIAL NOTE: From 5:30 pm – 7 pm, BNUG members are invited to participate in the Speed Interviewing event in the Mass Bay library atrium—this is a chance to give Mass Bay STEM students experience in interviewing, and to give us a chance to meet the rising generation and let them know about BNUG and our other computer activities. Good hiring opportunity!

  At our BNUG meeting, Adam Frost will lead a discussion of  the role of social media—Facebook, X (Twitter), and other platforms—and their role in war, power politics, and peace. We will talk about the many crises that have been made worse by social media, but also discuss where social media has made people’s lives better or at least funnier.

  We will read “The Global Disinformation Order
