Peter Pomerantsev: 本演讲探讨了如何对抗虚假信息和重建信任。演讲者结合自身在乌克兰战争中的经历,以及对二战时期英国秘密行动的深入研究,提出了三点核心策略:首先,打破权威宣传对强烈情绪的垄断,利用人们的愤怒、不满等情绪,使其对宣传产生质疑;其次,利用数据和技术,找到对人们真正有意义的事实,赋予他们自主权,减少对领导者的依赖;最后,利用数字工具,培养替代性社群,建立新的信任关系,从而削弱虚假信息的影响力。演讲者认为,通过将历史经验与现代技术相结合,我们可以更有效地对抗虚假信息,重建信任。 Peter Pomerantsev: 演讲者以自身在乌克兰的经历开篇,描述了目睹的战争暴行以及俄罗斯宣传的荒谬性,这促使他研究如何对抗虚假信息。他指出,传统的反驳方式,例如事实核查和传统新闻报道,往往难以奏效,因为它们无法触及人们的情感层面。因此,他转向历史,研究了二战时期英国秘密行动‘塞夫顿·德尔默’,该行动利用各种手段,包括充满愤怒、不满和色情内容的广播节目,来瓦解纳粹宣传对民众的影响。演讲者认为,德尔默行动的成功之处在于,它不仅打破了纳粹宣传对情绪的垄断,还利用事实赋予了人们自主权,并培养了替代性社群。演讲者最后呼吁,我们应该将德尔默行动的经验与现代技术相结合,利用数据分析、社交媒体等工具,更有效地对抗虚假信息,重建信任。
