512. Pekka Kallioniemi (Vatnik Soup) - Follow the Money to See how Russia Poisons the Information Space


Listen Later

Vatnik soup is a Twitter thread series where Pekka Kallioniemi

introduces pro-Russian actors and propagandists from around the world.
This includes so-called “independent journalists”, politicians, military
personnel and of course just regular grifters looking to make money.
The series has introductions and deeper insights on how online
propaganda and disinformation works and is spread. There are now 200
Vatnik soups, which introduce bad actors along with the strategies they
employ to pollute the information space. As Pekka states: the first
victim of war is the truth, and Russia considered itself at war with the
US, and its perceived vassals, the collective West, EU, and NATO.
----------
Pekka Kallioniemi has a PhD in interactive technology and is an expert
on social media platforms, algorithms, and disinformation. He is a #NAFO activist, and runs a series on Kremlin assets, agents, and oligarchs, called vatnik soup.
