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

1 hour 11 minutes

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.
