Mark Little to deliver Law Society’s human rights lecture
Mark Little, CEO and co-founder of Kinzen, will deliver the Law Society of Ireland’s annual human rights lecture this year.
Taking place on Wednesday 18 May at 6pm, Mr Little will speak on the “Complex Relationship Between Digital Misinformation and Fundamental Human Rights”, exploring how the spread of harmful misinformation and toxic online content is one of the biggest challenges to global democracy today.
Kinzen helps some of the world’s largest content platforms protect online conversations and communities from harmful content and has a particular expertise in audio content moderation.
Mr Little spent 20 years in broadcast news as an award-winning foreign correspondent and TV anchor. In 2010, he founded the world’s first social news agency Storyful. He has also worked for Twitter, as vice president for media in Europe and managing director of its international headquarters.
Gary Lee, managing solicitor of Ballymun Community Law Centre and chair of the Law Society’s human rights and equality committee, will chair the lecture.
The event is free but registration is required through the Law Society website.
