There is a widespread consensus that the online spread of disinformation, misinformation, and hatred have had dramatic and pernicious effects on politics worldwide.  It has arguably contributed in particular to the rise of authoritarian movements and governments, and to the false beliefs and hatreds that sustain them.  This workshop aims to bring together experts in political philosophy of language and political epistemology to understand the mechanisms at work in our online information and communication ecosystems.
