Obama addresses disinformation, other topics at University of Chicago armchair talk | FULL

Former U.S. president Barack Obama participated in an armchair conversation with Jeffrey Goldberg on Wednesday as part of a three-day event exploring the organized spread of disinformation and strategies to respond to it, hosted by the University of Chicago's Institute of Politics and The Atlantic.

On Tuesday, the former president made his first public appearance at the White House since 2017 when he delivered remarks on the Affordable Care Act (formerly known as Obamacare).

Meanwhile, Canada’s electronic espionage agency is warning that Russian state-backed actors are seeding online disinformation around the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine.

“Since Russia’s brazen and unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine, we have observed numerous Russia-backed disinformation campaigns online designed to support their actions,” the agency wrote in a series of tweets last week.
