 \, Independent\n   Gina Rosenthal has worked for the big infrastructure co
 mpanies for\n   many years. She helped start social media programs in thos
 e companies\,\n   and has always fought for people over stats. She also wa
 s an activist\n   in college\, helping found the American Indian Student U
 nion at a big\n   football school that has a native mascot. When she start
 ed her\n   company\, part of what she intended to do was help people under
 stand\n   what it means to have digital literacy.\n\n   Description:\n   S
 ocial media is big business for ad companies. That's why some of the\n   s
 ocial media grids give marketers the ability to zero in on their\n   preci
 se market. Those that peddle disinformation have become masters\n   at usi
 ng these tools. Breitbart pioneered this around 2010\, and people\n   like
  Steve Bannon have perfected their use of social media to "flood\n   the z
 one" with information. This session will share that history\, and\n   give
  a few concrete suggestions on how to identify when you're being\n   targe
 ted with misinformation.\n   '\n\n   1. https://defcon.outel.org/consolida
