462. Hijacking Reality - Panel Discussion on the Practice and Impact of Russian Disinformation Techniques

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.
