The DLCL's Digital Humanities Focal Group invites you to our final talk for the academic year, "Designing for Evil":
In "Designing for Evil," Brandon Harris, Senior Designer at the Wikimedia Foundation, will talk about how we have a responsibility to ensure that what we build is not used for nefarious purposes. We will go over the various motivations of internet trolls and the ways they attempt to subvert and control applications, systems, and communities. Then we will discuss various mitigation strategies for how to defend your users from the kinds of evil that the internet can produce.
