“Big Tech’s Support for Ukraine Recasts Industry’s Global Role”

JM Grygiel, associate professor of communications in the Newhouse School, was quoted in the CNET story “Big Tech’s Support for Ukraine Recasts Industry’s Global Role.” Grygiel, who studies social media and emerging media, explained how tech companies have always struggled in their responses to misinformation in times of mass violence. They said that the high-profile case of the Russian war on Ukraine may bring even more scrutiny on companies’ corporate policies on these topics. These decisions, from companies such as Facebook and YouTube, then influence how government content is experienced around the world.
