Brooklyn Cat Cafe's resident 'kitties' produce video to combat misinformation
After Laura Edelson, current Ph.D. student, co-founder of Cybersecurity for Democracy, and member of NYU's Center for Cybersecurity, made an appearance on “Full Frontal” to talk about how cat videos lead to misinformation, the Brooklyn Cat Cafe put out their own video to emphasize their disapproval for such misinformation tactics. Cat videos themselves don't contain nefarious messages, but when users keep accessing them from a problematic source, "content misinformation keeps filtering in,” explained Edelson.
