It isn’t just the digital social media Apps, but the very email and home Wi-fi servers Americans have become dependent on for communicating and getting their information. Our current communication policy leaves the U.S. vulnerable. While countries like China, Russia, and Iran have blocked U.S. platforms behind a “digital iron curtain”, our own system remains dangerously wide open.Dine and Discuss these powerful and impacting “Hidden Persuaders” and how these players and platforms exert more influence over public opinion than ever before.Can we control it? Can we put the genie back in the bottle? Let’s discuss! https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/5925ab20-1eff-11f0-be75-f9818eae8902-rimg-w1200-h500-dcffffff-gmir.jpg About the Speaker: Tim Love is former Vice-Chairman of Omnicom Group, the leading global advertising and marketing services company.
