I opened "information disorder" session today at #IGF2018 @intgovforum @igf2018paris, and was asked to provide quick overview of some key research findings.
Key points: we need conceptual clarity, more research outside US, and collaborative responses

Conceptual clarity. As @cward1e and @h0d3r report "Information disorder: Toward an interdisciplinary framework for research and policy making" points out, term "f*ke news" is woefully inadequate and harmful. (Disappointing #igf2018 uses it so widely) edoc.coe.int/en/media/7495-… 2/9
We need more research outside US: Online disinfo relies on techs that are also used for legitimate purposes world-wide (e.g. #metoo), dynamics and impact will differ in different places depending on media+political+social context-see e.g @BBCWorld work bbc.com/news/world-461… 3/9

SHORT THREAD:
So I just got out of the French embassy in Yaoundé where I went to submit a short-stay visa application. I have been left speechless by the officer at counter 1. @FRauCameroun @G_Thibault_Fr

I got there & greeted a cheerful: "hello, good morning". I noticed she did not respond. But that's never an issue.
She took my documents & proceeded to take the ones she didn't need & silently "throw" them back at me.
Still not a problem. You must bear with them. 😀

Then she asked:
"ou es votre domicile?" While looking at my files.
I responded: "I live in Yaoundé."
She shot back: "parlez en français, vous êtes a l'ambassade de France"
Floored.😱
As in, I was being barred from speaking a national language.
