Clint Watts (@selectedwisdom) is a Senior Fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, a Senior Fellow at the Center For Cyber and Homeland Security at The George Washington University, and author of Messing with the Enemy: Surviving in a Social Media World of Hackers, Terrorists, Russians, and Fake News.

What We Discuss with Clint Watts:

  • Why Western governments can't, even with their relatively infinite wealth of resources, beat ragtag Somali Twitter pirates and ISIS shills.
  • How bias creates social media bubbles, what forms they take, and why this is dangerous.
  • How we can fix these issues or at least mitigate the effect they have on our lives.
  • And much more...
