Study: Weaponized misinformation from political parties is now a global problem by Cara Curtis.
Social media, a tool created to guard freedom of speech and democracy, has increasingly been used in more sinister ways.
Memory check! Memory check! Is that how you remember the rise of social media? Have you ever thought of usenet as guarding freedom of speech (maybe) and democracy (unlikely)?
The Global Information Disorder report, the basis for Curtis’ report, treats techniques and tactics at a high level view, leaving you to file in the details for an information campaign. I prefer information as “disinformation” is in the eye of the reader.
I don’t have cites (apologies) to advertising literature on the shaping of information content for ads. Techniques known to work for advertisers, who have spent decades and $billions sharpening their techniques, should work for spreading information as well. Suggested literature?
