The mechanics of
trust in online
practice
Avoiding lies, bullshit and fake news
Ibrar Bhatt (@ibrar_bhatt)
School of Social Sciences, Education & Social Work
Queen’s University Belfast
Algorithms amplify content that
keeps users engaged – stories and
framings that appeal to instincts
(Noble 2017; Stepanek 2016)
Conspiratorial and anti-scientific
content outperform more
reasoned accounts (Meyer 2018)
‘Data voids’ (see Golebiewski &
boyd 2018)

Digital Ignorance
17% believe information other people share about them
is collected
58% sign up to social media sites without reading T&Cs;
51% without understanding
43% say there’s no point reading T&Cs because
companies do what they want anyway
24% said they don’t know at all how online services make
money
(Source: People, Power and Technology: The 2018 Digital
Attitudes Report)
Also see Bhatt & Mackenzie (2019) on ignorance
Epistemic vices have a
history (Cassam 2019;
Mackenzie & Bhatt 2019)
A ‘digital literacy’ that
moves beyond procedural
competency
A sense of epistemic
freedom
Image by John Hain from Pixabay
A commitment from the academic
community to preserving truth in
scholarly work and in public voice
In lecture halls and seminar rooms, in
meetings, conferences, and in the
public sphere
