Silicon Curtain | Hijacking Reality - Panel Discussion on the Practice and Impact of Russian Disinformation Techniques @SiliconCurtain | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 10 minutes ago.
The Putin regime has exploited the vulnerabilities of global social media platforms, using bots and trolls to promote its narratives. They also use it for coercive manipulation to change public attitudes towards Ukraine aid, and to cause fear, indecision, hesitation and caution among politicians and geo-political commentators. But Russia is not alone in using these methods; once developed the same techniques can be used by other powers, international and local to subvert democratic institutions and to warp public perception of the news and politics in their countries. And in a year of numerous elections, Russian multi-front aggression including info and Cyber poses an enormous threat.
