375. Valeria Kovtun - UnpackingTechniques Russia used to Implant its Lies and Narratives into your Head

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.
