Digital Hydra: Security Implications of False Information Online

Digital Hydra: Security Implications of False Information Online. Bertolin, G. NATO Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence, 2017. Google-Books-ID: 7hKetAEACAAJ
abstract bibtex

The study investigates misinformation and disinformation on social media in the context of the rise of 'fake news' and the birth of the 'post-truth' era. Are these concerns substantiated by facts? What are the consequences of these phenomena for the information environment? Most importantly, do these phenomena pose a threat for our societal security? This study will provide actionable knowledge by answering to these questions. This introduction is an attempt to position the emergence of 'fake news' in a wider societal context. Particular emphasis is placed on the cognitive biases that enable information manipulation. In turn, this will lead to a discussion about the tactics employed by adversarial actors to carry out information activities.
