17:18Now PlayingNobel Peace Laureate Maria Ressa on Return of the Marcos Dynasty & Social Media Disinformation
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWe go to Manila to speak with Filipina Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Ressa about Monday's presidential election in the Philippines, where Ferdinand Marcos Jr. — the only son of the late Filipino dictator Ferdinand Marcos — appears to have won in a landslide alongside his running mate, the daughter of current President Rodrigo Duterte. Ressa says the Marcos campaign used social media to cover up the historical memory of the family's brutal policies and the uprising in 1986 that ultimately ended Marcos's two-decade dictatorship. "These elections are emblematic of the impact of concerted information operations of disinformation where it literally changed history in front of our eyes," says Ressa. Her forthcoming book is titled "How to Stand Up to a Dictator: The Fight for Our Future."
