Podcast appearances and mentions of whitney phillips

It’s an interesting time for many in the U.S. Some people feel great about President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House, while others don’t. This week, people from both sides are sitting down together for Thanksgiving dinner. And while it’s one thing to ignore a family member’s social media posts or online rants, that can be a bit more challenging face-to-face, sometimes leading to awkward conversations about beliefs, truth and misinformation. Marketplace's Kimberly Adams spoke to Whitney Phillips, assistant professor of digital platforms and ethics at the University of Oregon, about how to navigate awkward conversations this holiday season.

Internet trolls live to upset as many people as possible, using all the technical and psychological tools at their disposal. They gleefully whip the media into a frenzy over a fake teen drug crisis; they post offensive messages on Facebook memorial pages, traumatizing grief-stricken friends and family; they use unabashedly racist language and images. They take pleasure in ruining a complete stranger's day and find amusement in their victim's anguish. In short, trolling is the obstacle to a kinder, gentler Internet. To quote a famous Internet meme, trolling is why we can't have nice things online. Or at least that's what we have been led to believe. In This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things, Whitney Phillips argues that trolling, widely condemned as obscene and deviant, actually fits comfortably within the contemporary media landscape. Trolling may be obscene, but, Phillips argues, it isn't all that deviant. Trolls' actions are born of and fueled by culturally sanctioned impulses--which are just as damaging as the trolls' most disruptive behaviors. Phillips describes, for example, the relationship between trolling and sensationalist corporate media--pointing out that for trolls, exploitation is a leisure activity; for media, it's a business strategy. She shows how trolls, "the grimacing poster children for a socially networked world," align with social media. And she documents how trolls, in addition to parroting media tropes, also offer a grotesque pantomime of dominant cultural tropes, including gendered notions of dominance and success and an ideology of entitlement. We don't just have a trolling problem, Phillips argues; we have a culture problem. This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things isn't only about trolls; it's about a culture in which trolls thrive. Whitney Phillips is a Lecturer in the Department of Communications at Humboldt State University. Learn more about your ad choices.

Memes zijn een unieke vorm van digitale expressie. Deze vaak humoristische en visueel aantrekkelijke fenomenen drijven op de technologische mogelijkheden van het internet en zijn uitgegroeid tot de spil van hedendaagse internetcultuur. In deze aflevering verwonderen de Mediadoctoren zich over memes. Dat doen we met Süeda Işık, historicus en redacteur memes bij NRC. Memes zijn de prenten en pamfletten van deze tijd. Online kunnen mensen er dingen mee zeggen die offline niet kunnen. Wat betekent het dat internetcultuur zo gefragmenteerd is? En wat is populair op welke platforms? We hebben het over meta-ironische en post-ironische memes en ontleden de dynamieken die internetcultuur maken.  Links bij deze aflevering:  Podcast How do you like it so far met meme-onderzoeker Whitney Phillips; 2006 meme 'Het meisje met de prei'; Auteurspagina Süeda Işık.  Verwante afleveringen uit het archief:  Afl 26: YouTube-sterren; Afl 46: Internettaal; Afl 102: Influencers en ethiek; Afl 125: Het internet redden; Afl 169: Macht van platforms.

Writer and educator Marcus Gilroy-Ware (After the Fact?, Filling the Void) speaks with Whitney Phillips and Ryan M. Milner about their new book You Are Here. Our media environment is in crisis. Polarization is rampant. Polluted information floods social media. Even our best efforts to help clean up can backfire, sending toxins roaring across the landscape. In You Are Here, Whitney Phillips and Ryan Milner offer strategies for navigating increasingly treacherous information flows. Using ecological metaphors, they emphasize how our individual me is entwined within a much larger we, and how everyone fits within an ever-shifting network map. Phillips and Milner describe how our poisoned media landscape came into being, beginning with the Satanic Panics of the 1980s and 1990s—which, they say, exemplify “network climate change”—and proceeding through the emergence of trolling culture and the rise of the reactionary far right (as well as its amplification by journalists) during and after the 2016 election. They explore the history of conspiracy theories in the United States, focusing on those concerning the Deep State; explain why old media literacy solutions fail to solve new media literacy problems; and suggest how we can navigate the network crisis more thoughtfully, effectively, and ethically. We need a network ethics that looks beyond the messages and the messengers to investigate toxic information's downstream effects.

Whitney Phillips is an assistant professor of Digital Platforms and Ethics in the School of Journalism and Communication at the University of Oregon. Phillips studies the connections between political communication, interpersonal communication, and information dysfunction. Her monograph This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things: Mapping the Relationship between Online Trolling and Mainstream Culture was published by MIT Press in 2015. She has co-authored two books with Ryan Milner: The Ambivalent Internet: Mischief, Oddity, and Antagonism Online in 2017, and You Are Here: A Field Guide for Navigating Polarized Speech, Conspiracy Theories, and Our Polluted Media Landscape in 2021. Her forthcoming book Share Better and Stress Less: A Guide to Thinking Ecologically about Social Media will be published in 2023. Phillips earned her PhD in English with a folklore and digital culture focus from the University of Oregon in 2012. She joined the UO faculty in fall of 2022.

We start by digging into each of our guests' definitions of “meme” (in contrast to Richard Dawkins), zeroing in on the agency of the meming process, how it connects with politics, and the need to be responsive to the way popular culture and the participating communities are using and defining these terms. Whitney offers “trolling” as an example to show how terms can be conflated and the consequences that result. Our guests talk about their recent research focuses: Sulafa has been looking at multilingual memes in the global south for an upcoming book, and Whitney's early work on subcultures has led her to study mainstream political discourse. This leads to a rich discussion about current political discourse over new media platforms in the US and across the globe. Finally, Whitney and Sulafa each offer their strategies for media literacy in this interconnected media ecosystem. A full transcript of this episode will be available soon!Here are some of the references from this episode, for those who want to dig a little deeper:Whitney PhillipsYou Are Here: A Field Guide for Navigating Polarized Speech, Conspiracy Theories, and Our Polluted Media LandscapeThe Ambivalent Internet: Mischief, Oddity, and Antagonism OnlineThis Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things: Mapping the Relationship between Online Trolling and Mainstream CultureSulafa Zidanichapter in: Popular Culture and the Civic Imagination: A CasebookHow to Conduct Internet Meme ResearchGlobal Meme Elites: How Meme Creators Navigate Transnational Politics on the Multilingual Internet (forthcoming)Global Meme ProjectThe Selfish Gene by Richard DawkinsROFLConShare your thoughts via Twitter with Henry, Colin and the How Do You Like It So Far? account!

In this episode of Lawfare's Arbiters of Truth series on disinformation, Evelyn Douek and Quinta Jurecic spoke with Whitney Phillips and Ryan Milner, authors of the new book, “You Are Here: A Field Guide for Navigating Polarized Speech, Conspiracy Theories, and Our Polluted Media Landscape.” Phillips is an assistant professor in Communications and Rhetorical Studies at Syracuse University, and Milner is an associate professor of Communication at the College of Charleston. In “You Are Here,” they look at the uniquely disorienting aspects of the current online information environment and how that is exacerbated by aspects of “internet culture” that don't make sense from the outside. They discussed the challenges for journalists in understanding and reporting on that culture and how that can fuel information pollution, how the internet got to this point where everything is so polluted, and, of course, what QAnon has to do with it.

In the 1990s tech evangelists told us that the internet would bring the world together; that it would help us share knowledge and learn from each other. Spoiler Alert: that didn't happen. The world of digital politics is filled with hucksters, ideological entrepreneurs performing invective for a few likes and subscriptions. It's a recruiting ground for far-right extremists, cultists and conspiracy fantasists. And it's changing how all of us think, feel and do our politics.  This eight-part podcast series reports on the findings of a three-year academic research project into the political ideologies, rhetorics and aesthetics shaping the age of digital politics. Featuring interviews with leading scholars and researchers in this field – including Whitney Phillips, Matthew Feldman, Becca Lewis and Wu Ming 1 – it asks why right-wing & reactionary groups have been so successful in using digital technologies to push their ideologies, exploring the history and theory to assess the prospects for politics in an age of digital communication.

Bryan shares his terrible travels to and from Memphis by asking the question: What is appropriate airplane behavior? Who owns the arm rest? Should you take off shoes during long distance flights? Why do you get 4 carry bags and I get 1? Who are these people that cut the line at every gate? What time should I show for my flight? What do you wear on a plane? Should you talk to your seat-mate? And most importantly...who controls the shade? TCB hopes to bring common sense and civility back to the not-so-friendly skies! LINKS:Want a TCB limited edition collectible sticker?

Chelsea talks with Grammy-nominated songwriter and vocal producer Whitney Phillips about the role of digital channels—particularly TikTok—during the pandemic in connecting established artists with their fans and helping breakthrough acts get discovered. Join their conversation about how singers and songwriters are using their voices, how record labels are reacting, and how the entire industry is adapting to a new era of authenticity.

The toxic waste that seeps into rivers taints everything downstream, spoiling lakes and oceans, killing flora and fauna, altering the air we breathe and raining back down. Information works the same way, media scholar Whitney Phillips says. Fueled by human passions, falsehoods permeate the mainstream media, undermine trust and hurt vulnerable people most. To untangle this trash, she argues, we need to think ecologically, too: looking not only to coders but faith leaders, teachers, even healthcare workers.

Writer and educator Marcus Gilroy-Ware (After the Fact?, Filling the Void) speaks with Whitney Phillips and Ryan M. Milner about their new book You Are Here. 

In this episode we talk with Taina Bucher who is an associate professor in screen cultures at the Department of Media and Communication, University of Oslo. Taina is the author of IF...THEN: Algorithmic Power and Politics, published by Oxford University Press in 2018.Taina explains why, as a media scholar, she became interested in algorithms and software, and we discuss her book and her proposal that we must approach algorithms not by asking what is an algorithm but instead when and how are algorithms. We discuss black boxes, a metaphor Taina finds problematic, and she uses the Facebook 'trending topics' controversy in 2016 as an example of the lack of nuance in discussions around attributing agency to either algorithms or humans. Taina explores how algorithms materialise in the institutional setting of news media in the context of the recent law passed by the Australian government aimed at making Google and Facebook pay for news content on their platforms.We also briefly talk about Taina's book, Facebook, published in May by Polity Press. Lastly, Taina recommends three books with respect to the questions she addressed in our conversation, Cloud Ethics by Louise Amoore, You Are Here by Whitney Phillips and Ryan M Milner, and Metrics at Work by Angèle Christin.

Devon Gilfillian grew up in Philadelphia on a steady diet of hip-hop, rock, blues and soul music. While soaking up the sounds of his musician father’s favorite music, Gilfillian also developed an appreciation for the beats and vibe of modern rap. He combined it all into his own music and after releasing an electrifying EP in 2016, he got signed to Capitol Records and hit the road performing with the likes of Anderson East, Keith Urban, Gladys Knight, Mavis Staples, Brothers Osborne and more. Now he’s on a roll. Earlier this year he released his debut album, the Grammy-nominated Black Hole Rainbow; he followed it up with a track-by-track cover of Marvin Gaye’s 1971 classic What’s Going On, which helped raise funds for the voting advocacy organization Equity Alliance. ASCAP's Beth Brinker talked with Gilfillian just before he received The ASCAP Foundation Leon Brettler Award about getting creative in quarantine, appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, finding new purpose in his music and more.

Bầu cử 2020 cho thấy một nước Mỹ chia rẽ hơn bao giờ hết. Tổng thống mãn nhiệm liên tục lên án bầu cử gian lận quy mô lớn, tước đoạt chiến thắng của ông, dù không hề có bằng chứng. Rất nhiều người ủng hộ Trump coi đối thủ chính trị của ông là kẻ thù không đội trời chung. Cho dù chuyển giao quyền lực diễn ra, đối đầu dự báo sẽ kéo dài trong căng thẳng. Vì sao nước Mỹ bị phân hóa đến thế ? Trong số các nguyên nhân dẫn đến tình trạng này, nhiều chuyên gia, nhà quan sát khẳng định vai trò quan trọng của đủ loại « thuyết âm mưu », nở rộ trong những năm vừa qua. Mạng truyền thông không chính thức QAnon được coi là một thế lực trong bóng tối hùng mạnh, nơi phát xuất của nhiều « thuyết âm mưu », có ảnh hưởng lớn đến cách suy nghĩ của người Mỹ, đặc biệt là các cử tri đảng Cộng Hòa nói chung, giới ủng hộ ông Donald Trump nói riêng. QAnon hoạt động ra sao ? Vì sao mạng lưới truyền thông này là có nhiều ảnh hưởng như vậy ? Trên đây là các chủ đề chính của Tạp chí Xã hội của RFI tuần này. « Cuộc nội chiến » thầm lặng chống lại một « nhà nước ngầm » QAnon xuất hiện vào mùa thu 2017, ít tháng sau khi ông Trump nhậm chức tổng thống. « Q » là tên gọi rút gọn của « Q Clearance Patriot », biệt danh của một tài khoản trên một diễn đàn mạng nhiều tai tiếng mang tên « 4chan ». « Anon » là tên viết tắt của từ « vô danh » trong tiếng Anh. Cho đến nay, giới nghiên cứu vẫn chưa xác định được danh tính của cá nhân hay nhóm đứng đằng sau biệt danh « Q ». Chủ nhân của tài khoản mang tên « Q » khẳng định tiếp cận được với các tài liệu mật cho thấy có một âm mưu ngầm chống lại tổng thống đương nhiệm Donald Trump. Đọc thêm : Vì sao phong trào ủng hộ Trump củng cố được vị thế trong xã hội Mỹ ? Theo « Q », lãnh đạo nhóm chống tổng thống hiện nay là một tổ chức tội phạm, bao gồm cựu tổng thống Obama, cựu ngoại trưởng Hillary Clinton, tỉ phú George Soros, gia đình Rothschild, nhiều ngôi sao điện ảnh Holywood, và nhiều quan chức cao cấp Mỹ. Thế lực này cũng bị cáo buộc tham gia buôn bán trẻ em làm nô lệ tình dục, và được coi là đã bí mật điều khiển nước Mỹ từ nhiều thập niên nay, cùng với nhiều thế lực nước ngoài. Theo « Q », chỉ có Donald Trump và các cộng sự của ông mới là người có thể chống lại « nhà nước ngầm » này, cứu nước Mỹ, trả lại quyền lực cho nhân dân (Les Echos ngày 21/08/2020). Gần đây, các thành viên của QAnon khi xuất hiện trước công chúng thường mang theo biểu tượng chữ Q, mang màu đỏ, hoặc màu cờ Mỹ, với khẩu hiệu « Một người trong chúng ta đi đâu, tất cả cùng đi » (Where We Go One We Go All – viết tắt là « WWG1WGA »).   Một người ủng hộ phong trào, ông Jordan Sather, cho biết trên Youtube, « QAnon, tóm lại, là một cuộc nội chiến bí mật, do một số người ly khai khỏi hệ thống tình báo tiến hành. Các thông điệp của ‘‘Q’’ giúp chúng ta thức tỉnh, để nhận ra sự thật ». Nhà nghiên cứu Travis View, chuyên gia về phong trào QAnon, xác nhận : « ‘‘Q’’ tự nhận là một quan chức cao cấp trong ngành tình báo quân sự, thân cận với ông Donald Trump ». Một niềm tin chủ yếu của những người theo  QAnon đó là những thế lực có « âm mưu đen tối » sẽ sớm bị bắt giữ hàng loạt, và « trận cuồng phong này » (the Storm) sẽ đưa tất cả đến nơi « bình an và hạnh phúc ». Erin Cruz, một người ủng hộ QAnon, ứng cử viên Cộng Hòa vào Nghị Viện California cuối năm 2019, khẳng định đầy vẻ tin tưởng : « Các thuyết âm mưu có vẻ điên rồ, cho đến khi chúng được chứng minh là đúng ». Phẫn nộ : « Bão chồng lên bão » Phong trào QAnon thoạt tiên chỉ nằm bên lề xã hội Mỹ, bởi các thuyết âm mưu những người chủ xướng đưa ra bị coi quá cực đoan. Tuy nhiên, QAnon nhanh chóng thu hút được nhiều « tín đồ », với việc tung ra tin giả đủ loại, đặc biệt gần đây trong bối cảnh xã hội Mỹ lâm vào khủng hoảng với đại dịch Covid-19, hay phong trào Black Lives Matter (Mạng sống người da đen cũng quan trọng), chống bạo lực và kỳ thị chủng tộc của cảnh sát. Chẳng hạn như một điều tra của New York Times cho biết nhiều thành viên phong trào này đã xâm nhập vào mạng lưới bảo vệ trẻ em #SaveTheChildren, để tung ra một bản đồ bịa đặt về các địa điểm buôn trẻ em. Chuyên gia về truyền thông và hiện tượng tin giả, bà Whitney Phillips, đưa ra một ẩn dụ đầy hình ảnh để nói về sức mạnh và tốc độ phát triển của QAnon. Nhà nghiên cứu Đại học Syracus, New York, so sánh QAnon với hiện tượng thời tiết được đặt tên là « hiệu ứng Fujiwhara », một cơn cuồng phong trở nên mạnh hơn gấp bội, nhờ một cơn cuồng phong khác tiếp sức. QAnon không chỉ là một « trận bão » truyền thông, phong trào này còn mang năng lượng của nhiều « trận bão » dồn dập ập đến trong những năm gần đây. Chuyên gia về các thuyết âm mưu Mike Rothschild, tác giả cuốn « The World's Worst Conspiracies » (cũng là tác giả một cuốn sách về QAnon, sẽ ấn hành năm tới 2021) nhận xét : với đại dịch Covid, mọi thứ nhập làm một. Nếu bạn đến một nhóm chống vac-xin, bạn sẽ gặp những người chống khẩu trang, nếu bạn đến một nhóm chống khẩu trang, sẽ gặp người chống Bill Gates, đệ tử cuồng nhiệt của QAnon… Rốt cục bạn sẽ tin vào tất cả những điều này. Theo chuyên gia về thuyết âm mưu Travis View, « điều mà QAnon mang lại cho người tin theo là khả năng hiểu được những gì diễn ra mà không cần đến các phương tiện truyền thông. Chỉ cần đi theo ‘‘Q’’, người được coi là có quan hệ với giới tình báo cao cấp, người có thể nói cho bạn biết những gì diễn ra thực sự trong hậu trường. Mong muốn có được các thông tin bí hiểm này là đặc điểm chung của tất cả những người tin theo ''Q'' » (Le Monde, 14/10/2020). Mạng xã hội: Nơi phù thủy luyện âm binh Trong thông điệp đầu tiên năm 2017, « Q » khẳng định cựu ngoại trưởng Hillary Clinton sắp bị bắt giam. Tuy nhiên, tiên đoán này đã không xảy ra. Kể từ đó « Q » từ bỏ giọng điệu khẳng định, để chuyển sang kêu gọi những người tham gia đóng góp « phần nhỏ của mình », tùy theo sáng kiến riêng, miễn là phù hợp với chủ trương chung của phong trào. Các thông điệp của phong trào liên tục đổi mới, thích ứng với phương thức liên hệ hết sức uyển chuyển, trên các mạng xã hội, nơi mà mỗi cá nhân toàn quyền đưa ra các giải thích riêng của mình. Theo chuyên gia Mike Rothschild, khi những người chủ trương mạng « QAnon » thấy một số các bài viết hay thông điệp thu hút nhiều chú ý, họ sẽ đưa lên Youtube, và chính từ đây, các nội dung đó sẽ có sức lan tỏa mạnh mẽ. Một điều tra nội bộ của Facebook, mà kênh truyền hình NBC tiếp cận được hồi đầu tháng 8, mang lại một hình dung sơ bộ về quy mô của phong trào. Facebook xác định được hàng nghìn nhóm, trang mạng với hơn 3 triệu thành viên và người đăng ký, có liên quan đến trào lưu QAnon. Kể từ tháng 3 đến tháng 8, số lượng trang và nhóm QAnon trên Facebook tăng gấp 6,5 lần (FranceInfo). Cũng tháng 8/2020, theo điều tra của New York Times, những nhóm QAnon nổi tiếng nhất trên Facebook tập hợp đến 200.000 người tham gia. Chia rẽ, ngờ vực, thù hận : Nỗi lo nước Mỹ bị xé làm hai « Thuyết âm mưu » và tin giả song hành như hình với bóng. Để hiểu được vì sao mạng truyền thông trong bóng tối QAnon lại có được sức hấp dẫn như vậy trong xã hội Mỹ, bên cạnh những bối cảnh thuận lợi như đại dịch Covid - gây nhiều lo lắng trong xã hội, một nguyên nhân khác có thể thấy trong chính chủ trương của tổng thống Hoa Kỳ, chống lại truyền thông chủ lưu, chống lại cách xử lý thông tin nghiêm túc của nhiều phương tiện truyền thông chuyên nghiệp, gây tâm lý hoang mang trong xã hội. Trả lời RFI Tiếng Việt, nhà báo Phạm Trần, nhà quan sát chính trị Mỹ từ nhiều thập niên nay, nhận xét : « Lần đầu tiên trong lịch sử bầu cử tổng thống của nước Mỹ, một tổng thống đương quyền thất cử lại nói rằng mình thua là do gian lận. Đối với người dân Mỹ, phải coi đó là một lời tuyên bố, một xác quyết xâm phạm đến tính ngay thẳng của nền dân chủ Hoa Kỳ. Cho đến giờ này, bốn năm cầm quyền của ông Donald Trump đã tạo ra một không khí nghi ngờ, chia rẽ, phân hóa trong xã hội Mỹ, và trong chính quyền Mỹ, không có tin tưởng ở nhau. Đấy là một hậu quả tôi cho rằng là nghiêm trọng. Ông Trump tạo ra sự nghi ngờ đối với nền dân chủ Hoa Kỳ, và tạo ra ấn tượng là bầu cử ở Mỹ có gian lận, nhưng không đưa ra được bằng chứng cụ thể nào. Báo chí hỏi ông ấy, tại sao lại không đưa ra bằng chứng ? Thì ông ấy lại tố cáo những người phóng viên đã đặt câu hỏi ấy là đã đưa ra tin giả, ‘‘fake news’’. Ông Trump đã thành công trong việc tạo ra làn sóng (chống lại cái gọi là) ‘‘fake news’’. Những gì không thuận tay ông ấy, những gì ông ấy không thấy có lợi cho ông ấy, thì ông ấy gọi là ‘‘fake news’’, hay không có lợi cho đảng Cộng Hòa thì ông ấy cho là fake news. Và những gì mà đối thủ của ông ấy nói, những người chống ông ấy, tuyên bố thì đều bị coi là fake news, thì ông ấy lại gán ghép cho họ là đưa ra những ‘‘fake news’’, để che đậy âm mưu của mình. Hiện tượng gọi là ‘‘fake news’’ đó, cách tuyên truyền của ông Donald Trump đã trở thành một hiện tượng trong xã hội Mỹ, sẽ tiếp tục tồn tại, sẽ phát triển mạnh hơn, mặc dù ông Donald Trump sẽ rời Tòa Bạch Ốc vào ngày 20/01/2021 ».  Với khoảng 80 triệu người đăng ký theo dõi trên Twitter, ông Donald Trump, với quyền lực của một tổng thống Mỹ, là một trong những người có ảnh hưởng ghê gớm nhất đến công luận toàn cầu. Việc tổng thống Trump thường phổ biến quan điểm gây chia rẽ công chúng, những người theo ông và những người chống ông, quyết liệt chống lại các phương tiện truyền thông không ủng hộ ông, quy tất cả vào một nhóm « kẻ thù của nhân dân » (ngôn từ thường được các chế độ toàn trị sử dụng để triệt hạ hoàn toàn các đối thủ), ắt hẳn đã tạo đất tốt cho sự nở rộ của đủ loại thuyết âm mưu, tin giả, trong đó có các thuyết âm mưu mà QAnon phổ biến.   Trump – QAnon :  Quan hệ nước đôi Về mặt nguyên tắc, ông Donald Trump được coi là người không bao giờ nói trực tiếp về QAnon. Tùy viên báo chí của Nhà Trắng năm 2018 tuyên bố tổng thống Trump « tố cáo và lên án và mọi hành động bạo lực nhắm vào một cá nhân ». Trong một cuộc họp báo vào tháng 8/2020, ông Trump đã tránh trả lời phóng viên, khi được đặt câu hỏi về QAnon. Câu hỏi được nhà báo đặt ra sau khi tổng thống Trump gửi thông điệp trên mạng Twitter khen ngợi ứng cử viên vào Hạ Viện, bà Marjorie Taylor Greene, một đệ tử của phong trào QAnon (theo AP, ngày 14/08/2020). Trong một đoạn video đưa lên mạng năm 2017, bà Greene ca ngợi ông Trump là cơ hội giúp cho nước Mỹ « chống lại băng nhóm của những kẻ ấu dâm, tôn thờ quỷ Satan » – một nội dung chủ yếu trong thuyết âm mưu của QAnon. Người vừa đắc cử hạ nghị sĩ cũng là người chủ trương chống phá thai, ủng hộ mang súng, coi người da trắng là nhóm xã hội « bị ngược đãi nhất » tại Mỹ (bà Greene là một trong hai ứng cử viên ủng hộ QAnon đắc cử Hạ Viện lần này) (France Culture, ngày 04/11/2020). Trên thực tế, tổng thống Donald Trump có quan hệ gần gũi với nhiều thành viên QAnon. Ví dụ như Michael William Lebron (biệt danh « Lionel »), một người dẫn chương trình phát thanh, hoạt động tích cực trên mạng, với gần 150.000 người theo dõi trên Twitter và 250.000 người trên kênh Youtube cá nhân. Michael William Lebron nổi tiếng là một trong những người tuyên truyền nhiệt tình cho các luận thuyết « âm mưu » của QAnon. Hay cựu cố vấn an ninh quốc gia của ông Trump, Michael Flynn, cũng là người nhắc lại các khẩu hiệu của QAnon trên trang Twitter. Nhà nghiên cứu Joseph Uscinski, Đại học Miami, chuyên gia về các nhóm chính trị bên lề, ghi nhận QAnon là nhóm được coi là « cực đoan nhất » trong giới cử tri ủng hộ Donal Trump. Thái độ gần gũi của ông Trump với nhóm này đặt chính đông đảo giới chính trị gia Cộng Hòa vào thế khó xử. Đa số không dám phản đối, bởi ông Trump được cử tri ủng hộ đông đảo, nhưng việc lờ đi chuyện này có thể gây khó cho đảng Cộng Hòa, khi QAnon đã nằm trong tầm ngắm của Cục Điều tra Liên bang (FBI), như một « nguy cơ đối với an ninh quốc gia » (France 24, 22/07/2020). Mối đe dọa thường trực đối với nền dân chủ Ảnh hưởng QAnon có nguy cơ dẫn đến các hành động cực đoan nguy hiểm trong kỳ bầu cử Mỹ. Đây có thể là lý do khiến tập đoàn Facebook đầu tháng 10 vừa qua đã quyết định loại trừ tất cả những gì liên quan đến QAnon ra khỏi mạng xã hội này, sau một thời gian dài dung dưỡng mạng truyền thông trong bóng tối. Youtube cũng đưa ra một số biện pháp. Tuy nhiên, QAnon chắc chắn không chết, bởi sự phát triển của phong trào này giờ đây không còn phụ thuộc vào Facebook. Quan hệ giữa tổng thống mãn nhiệm Mỹ với QAnon, mạng truyền thông đầy thế lực, chủ trương các thuyết âm mưu mờ ám, là vấn đề đang tiếp tục được giới chuyên gia làm sáng tỏ. Tuy nhiên, theo nhiều nhà quan sát, thái độ nước đôi của tổng thống Mỹ, chủ trương phủ nhận triệt để vai trò của truyền thông chủ lưu, tất cả những gì đi ngược lại quan điểm của cá nhân ông Trump đều bị gán nhãn « fake news », đã tạo ra  một không khí xã hội rất thuận lợi cho đủ loại thuyết âm mưu phát triển. Đây cũng chính là nguồn gốc sản sinh vô số tin giả, gây rối nhiễu công luận. Nhà chính trị học Pháp Rudy Reichstadt, phụ trách trang mạng Conspiracy Watch (thành lập từ năm 2007, chuyên nghiên cứu các phong trào cực đoan), nhấn mạnh « sự nở rộ của thuyết âm mưu biến các tranh luận trong một xã hội dân chủ thành cuộc đối thoại giữa những người điếc », « việc hủy bỏ mọi khả năng về ‘‘một thế giới chung’’ mà mọi người có thể chia sẻ, việc hủy hoại niềm tin vào một hiện thực mang tính sự kiện, mà xung quanh đó, có thể diễn ra đối thoại giữa các quan điểm trái ngược » là mối đe dọa thường trực đối với các nền dân chủ (Le Monde, 25/11/2020).

In this episode of Growing in the Green Industry, the panel interviews four faculty members from horticultural programs around the country.  Topics covered include the value of collegiate education in the industry, the importance of well-balanced education, and advice for professionals at all levels.  Our guests are Daniel Greenwell from Piedmont Technical College, Whitney Phillips from University of Mount Olive, Liz Riley from Alamance Community College, and Skyler Westergard from Brigham Young University - Idaho. This episode is hosted by Neal Glatt, Managing Partner of GrowTheBench, Miles Kuperus, System Architect at Include Software, Luke Melograno, Production Coordinator at Mariani Landscape, and guest host Jenn Myers, Senior Director of Workforce Development at NALP.

Bright Simons, founder and president of mPedigree; Whitney Phillips, Syracuse University; Stephan Lewandowsky, University of Bristol; Joanne Miller, University of Delaware; John Cook, George Mason University and moderator Mark Lynas discuss the nature and appeal of conspiracy theories and how to deal with them.

In this episode of our Arbiters of Truth series on disinformation, Evelyn Douek and Quinta Jurecic spoke with Whitney Phillips and Ryan Milner, authors of the new book, “You Are Here: A Field Guide for Navigating Polarized Speech, Conspiracy Theories, and Our Polluted Media Landscape.” Phillips is an assistant professor in Communications and Rhetorical Studies at Syracuse University, and Milner is an associate professor of Communication at the College of Charleston. In “You Are Here,” they look at the uniquely disorienting aspects of the current online information environment and how that is exacerbated by aspects of “internet culture” that don’t make sense from the outside. They discussed the challenges for journalists in understanding and reporting on that culture and how that can fuel information pollution, how the internet got to this point where everything is so polluted, and, of course, what QAnon has to do with it.

Democracy is reliant on facts, but fact-checking no longer seem to dispel misleading information. As a prelude to next week's Disinfo 2020: Prepping the Press conference, Kyle Pope, editor and publisher of CJR, discusses disinformation and the failings of the fact-checking industry with Emily Bell, the director of the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia, and media literacy expert Whitney Phillips, an assistant professor at Syracuse University.

Some podcasts I do are easy. There’s a problem and, hey look, here’s a great answer! Some are hard. There’s a problem and, well, there may not be a good answer. This is one of those. When Donald Trump tweeted that four new Democratic members of Congress (commonly known as ‘the Squad’) should “go back” to the “corrupt” countries he said they are from, the media went into frenzy. When he said he didn’t worry if the comment was racist, because “many people agree with me,” it got worse. Trump’s racism — and his justification of it — dominated the news. Under the “sunlight disinfects” model of media, that’s a good thing. But, as communications scholar Whitney Phillips argues, sunlight also does something else: it makes things grow. What if, by letting Trump focus the national conversation on his most vile comments at will, we’re nourishing the very ideas we’re trying to bleach? Behind this conversation lurks some of the hardest questions in media. What makes something newsworthy? When do we let Trump set the agenda, and when don’t we? And is the theory under which we give the worst comments the most coverage true, or is it making us part of the problem?

Épisode 169 : Ils sont partout, ils envahissent nos écrans depuis presque le début du web. Dans un monde digital qui vise la sophistication et la recherche d’excellence, ils s’imposent avec leurs pixels bien dégueulasses et leur vilaine mise en forme ! Eux ce sont les mèmes. Le mème est un élément culturel reconnaissable répliqué et transmis par l’imitation du comportement d’un individu par d’autres individus. Etymologie du mème Le mème n’est pas né sur un vulgaire forum de geek enfoui sur le web. Non, non il a des origine bien plus nobles. C’est Richard Dawkins, un biologiste et éthologiste britannique, membre de la Royal Society qui théorisa le premier la mème. Richard Dawkins définit le mème dans Le Gène égoïste (1976). Il est un élément de langage reconnaissable et transmis par répétition d’un individu à d’autres. Il correspond à « une unité d’information contenue dans un cerveau, échangeable au sein d’une société ». Mème et mimétique sont comparables à gène et génétique, appliqués aux éléments des cultures et non aux individus biologiques. Définition du Larousse : Concept (texte, image, vidéo) massivement repris, décliné et détourné sur Internet de manière souvent parodique, qui se répand très vite, créant ainsi le buzz. Le Premier mème au monde 1996 > Premier « Mème Internet » Un bébé Dansant, je l’ai retrouvé sur un article du Monde très bien fait reprenant l’historique du web On peut le retrouver ici Puis dans les années 2000 Au début des années 2000, la connaissance et le partage des mèmes Internet était essentiellement le fait de la communauté geek. C’est notamment sur le forum 4chan, où sont nés les principaux mèmes: par exemple, les célèbres lolcats, ou encore le Pedobear (personnage de la culture manga, incarnant la pédophilie sous les traits d’un ours brun anthropomorphe, et repris par la communauté 4chan pour se moquer des utilisateurs aux tendances pédophiles). [Super article de Slate sur la culture mème][4] —— Le mème est l’émanation d’une communauté avec un language commun Les mèmes repose sur une connivence entre les membres d’une communauté partageant un langage commun et les mêmes références culturelles. Cette connivence repose sur des références, des moments vécus et partagés par plusieurs personnes : des films (Harry Potter, Le Seigneur des Anneaux, Avengers…) des jeux vidéos (Super Mario, Skyrim, Call of Duty…) Des émissions TV ou encore d’autres éléments de la pop culture (Pokémon, Bob l’éponge…). Un désir de reconnaissance mutuel dans le groupe A travers la création et la diffusion des mèmes, se manifeste un désir de reconnaissance mutuelle et d’appartenance. On peut parler du « success kid », un jeune garçon serrant le poing et symbolisant le succès et la victoire. Nombre de détournement ont permis à ce mème de se pérenniser au travers des différentes success stories des internautes. La popularité de cette image à même permis à ce garçon (Sam Griner) de lever des fonds pour financer une opération médicale pour son père. A chaque communauté ses mèmes Des mèmes pour les graphistes et DA : « The only date I get is… Photoshop up-date » Des mèmes pour les ingénieurs : —— Les codes graphiques du mème Toujours la mème police. Blanche en majuscule avec un contour noir La police en question est une police bien connu des graphistes : Impact. Cette police a été créée en 1965 par un américain typographe : Geoff Lee Ces qui fait qu’on la retrouve partout aujourd’hui c’est qu’elle était distribué par défaut dans Windows 98. Evidemment on voit parfois apparaitre des mèmes avec d’autre polices notamment Arial Black, mais à ce stade, la police mème est elle-même devenue un mème - une idée virale très difficile à supprimer. Nous nous attendons à ce que les mèmes aient une certaine apparence, ce qui inclut Impact. L’Art du mème Reprendre et rediffuser une création suppose un travail plus facile que le créateur original d’un mème, cependant tout l’intérêt se forge dans cette capacité à réutiliser une image d’une autre façon et permettre, en la déclinant, de la faire vivre et circuler. Cette culture permet au public qui maîtrise l’art du mème, d’explorer un nouveau registre d’expression —— Les mèmes le plus connus Chuck Norris, le Mister mème « Chuck Norris fait pleurer les oinions » « Chuck Norris peut diviser par zéro » Des millions de mèmes en ligne rebondissant autour du hashtag #chucknorrisfacts Du côté de Walker Texas Ranger et de son avocat on est plutôt cool sur le sujet. Mickael Forchey qui est l’avocat de Chuck Norris explique qu’il n’y a rien d’illégal, mais que la marque Chuck Norris est déposée » Donc aucun e utilisation commerciale ne sera tolérée. "C'est un gars formidable", selon l’avocat, "et il est vraiment flatté par la jeune génération qui l’ont découvert grâce aux mèmes. > En savoir plus Les temples du Mème sur le web Une multitude de sites dédiés pullulent désormais sur la toile, parmi lesquels 9gag, memebase, knowyourmeme ou encore trolino Sur ces sites on trouve une vraie communauté mème avec des utilisateurs qui créent en temps réel. Par exemple sur 9gag, hier on a vu apparaître des mèmes liées à l’exploration du premier Trou noir / Oeil de Sauron Ces sites ont des comptes très actifs sur les réseaux et de là sont partagés par milliers les mèmes 9GAG > 15 millions d’abonnés sur Twitter > 50 millions sur Instagram > 41 Millions sur Facebook —— La culture mème c’est le Folklore de demain ? Le American Folklife Center qui est situé dans la Bibliothèque du Congrès américain contient une large gamme de matériels ethnographiques comme les histoires orales et les chansons. Il archive depuis 1970 des ethnographies du pays du charbon appalachien, de la musique folklorique et des conférences sur la quinceañera dans les communautés latines au Texas. Il contient également des archives de Know Your Mème. On voit naître un mouvement croissant dans le monde académique qui considère la culture mème comme le folklore, et l’étudie en tant que telle. Whitney Phillips chercheur explique : « L’expression folklorique est « en dehors » ou se manifeste dans un certain degré de conflit avec la culture formelle. » —— Le cas d’école Dos Equis : quand l’Art du mème est maitrisé par les marques. L’appropriation des mèmes par les marques et un exercice compliqué et périlleux. Enorme cas d’école que celui de la marque de bières Dos Equis qui a créé un atelier de mèmes. En proposant à sa communauté de personnaliser un mème en utilisant la légende « I don’t always drink beer, but when i do…». C’est un succès, l’univers second degré s’adopte facilement par les internautes et le mème s’est décliné en milliers de versions sur les réseaux sociaux. Cette image deviendra l’un des mèmes les plus populaires : « Most interesting man in the world ». . . . Le Super Daily est fabriqué avec une pluie d'amour par les équipes de Supernatifs.

Here’s a fun fact: The best training for understanding the president’s media strategy is to have studied internet trolls for years and years. Okay, maybe that fact wasn’t so fun. Maybe it’s incredibly depressing. At any rate, Whitney Phillips did exactly that. She was one of the earliest scholars of online trolling (yes, that’s a job). She was studying trolling when it was a tiny sideshow. And she was there, studying it, as online trolling got amplified by algorithmic platforms and a click-hungry media. As Gamergate made it a political movement. Then, most importantly, she was there, watching, as the media manipulation tactics that she had seen perfected by the trolls became the playbook for how Trump controls the media’s agenda, and the national conversation. I’m in the media. I’m inside this machine looking out. It can be hard, from inside, to understand what the hell is happening. But Phillips is outside the machine looking in. And she understands, better than anyone I’ve talked to, what’s gone wrong, and how hard it will be to fix.

I spoke to American academic Whitney Phillips about how the media's attempts to do the right thing in reporting on the far right have backfired spectacularly - instead, it has ended up providing endless fuel for their fire. She outlines some of the ways in which they can be handled by journalists - not least by shifting the focus from the aggressors to their intended targets.

Whitney Phillips (@wphillips49) joined Ana (@anamariecox) to talk about her recent work, The Oxygen of Amplification, which chronicles the battle journalists face to report on extremism without amplifying it. Early in their conversation, Ana and Whitney dove into the central paradox of that battle: that it’s almost impossible to report on extremism without normalizing and spreading it. Another part of that paradox is that for an uninitiated journalist, it is all too easy to get duped into spreading misinformation. They also explored one of the central problems of this reporting and reporting in general: newsrooms are overwhelmingly white, male, Christian, cis, and able-bodied. Because those people are the ones least at risk from white supremacists, they’re (*shocker*) who white supremacists will talk to, and the most likely to downplay threats from those same white supremacists. Lastly, after touching on Unite The Right 2.0, Ana played assignment editor and suggested different directions to take a Nazi Next Door™story. You can find Whitney’s book here.

Is it inevitable that the internet and social media drive us to the extremes? Or do they just hold up a mirror to an already divided culture? And we explore the dark side of the internet – trolls, racist memes, hate-filled comment sections and increasingly virulent culture wars – and ask whether it hijacked the White House.

Soon after news broke that Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones’s website had been hacked and replaced with stolen nude photos and racist memes, I got an urgent email from Whitney Phillips, one of the world’s foremost experts on online trolling and harassment (Phillips quite literally has a doctorate in 4chan). Phillips wanted to know if Motherboard was going to cover the hack, and how we were going to do it. “I have some thoughts on the ethics of amplification—how, we can't not comment on stories like this, but commenting perpetuates the disgusting narrative and associated imagery. The question being, what's the ethical way not just for journalists and academics to respond, but for individuals, as well?” she said. “Is more harm than good done when the association of Jones with Harambe is given longer life? I'm honestly not sure,” she added. “BUT I WANT TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION.” In her book This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things, Phillips explores how early trolls from 4chan’s /b/ board manipulated the media into spreading their message. Though “trolling” is now an outdated, imprecise term, the Twitter harassment and illegal hacking of Jones’s website are amplified the more journalists write about it, the more people retweet it, the more we allow it to stay in our collective consciousness. Phillips emailed me as I was also considering whether there’s an ethical way to cover abhorrent behavior on the internet—decisions about how and whether to write about racially, sexually, or xenophobically motivated hacks and harassment is a question the Motherboard staff considers all the time, but it’s rarely a conversation that ever makes it to the public. And so I decided to have that conversation with Phillips and the roles we all play in amplifying questionable or grotesque online behavior. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

  Why would someone willingly spend years hanging out with people who make fun of recently dead teens? To write a book about the experience, of course. Motherboard meets Whitney Phillips, a Humboldt State University researcher and author of 'This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things,' an academic look at why internet trolls act the way they do.
