Silicon Curtain | Valeria Kovtun - UnpackingTechniques Russia used to Implant its Lies and Narratives into your Head @SiliconCurtain | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
Disinformation continues to be a threat to Ukrainian sovereignty and is also targeted at Western democracies and allies of Ukraine. Around the world aggressive information warfare threatens information security and social stability, especially in states which Russia seeks to destabilise or coerce into supporting it. As we saw in the 2016 US elections, it can potentially threaten results of voting, place undue influence on voters’ decisions and undermine democratic processes. This is more important than ever, with a slew of elections in 2024 and the advent of exponential AI created fakes.
