Talk:Renée DiResta

importance

Is this person really important enough to have an article regurgitating her LinkedIn profile? It says that she worked at the CIA as an undergrad. Doing what? So what? Also, she's trying to 'vaccinate' California. In what manner? 72.174.131.123 (talk) 11:15, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

biographical facts?

When and where was she born? Who were her parents? Article not encylopedic.

According to the NY Times, Ms DiResta was born in 1981. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/12/technology/social-media-disinformation.html

Semi-protected edit request on 19 June 2024

I was changing this these sentences to note that a) Yonder was formerly known as New Knowledge b) It was DiResta who testified while working at New Knowledge while it was called that and c) adding the requested citation.

So please change:

DiResta was Director of Research at Yonder, a company that specialized in information integrity.

to

DiResta was Director of Research at Yonder (formerly known as New Knowledge), a company that specialized in information integrity.

and

Yonder was called to testify before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence about possible Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential election.

The first requested edit doesn’t seem necessary (the information can be found on the linked Yonder page, and it does not seem germane to this bio page) and I was unable to load the citation for the second requested edit (server timeout). Open to hear reasons why I’m wrong on the first point, and about alternate sources for the second point, or else just word that the citation is available. EricAMeyer (talk) 02:35, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
