It’s the present day. You share an invitation to a meetup for fans of a website you follow. The meetup is tied to supporting an upcoming ballot initiative, and the site has always closely aligned with your political beliefs. In your post sharing the invitation, you encourage local friends and family to join you. Hours later, a friend sends you a text message with a link to an NBC News story listing sites created by Russia’s Internet Research Agency for the purpose of fostering political conflict. The site hosting the event you shared is prominently featured on that list. You check back and see that seven people you know have also RSVP’d for the event. What will you choose to do? What’s the responsible way to inform your friends? Will you still attend the event?
