>What militarised disinformation is something on the whole new level though
People said the same thing about radio waves (whereas you can mostly stop print publications from crossing your borders and being published within them).
- Quequau 7y agoRadio was a tool that was used extensively in the run to the Rwandan genocide against the Tutsi.
- dsfyu404ed 7y agoI fail to see the relevance of that to this discussion. Radio was also used extensively by the various resistance movements in Europe during WW2. Technology is used by people to facilitate the things those people want to do, good, evil or in-between. "Militarized Disinformation" takes different forms in the internet age but the internet has not revolutionized lying at scale by any means. It just makes everything travel faster.
