> Yes, observing publicly broadcast posts for signs of deliberately posted disinformation (and ignorantly reposted/amplified misinformation) is an excellent idea, since this is a primary vector for enemies, especially authoritarian states to implement asymmetric warfare, falsely motivating a population to fight against itself.
It’s also the primary vector authoritarian states use to oppress their own citizens.
And the primary way they justify this vector is by saying it’s to defend against foreign disinformation.
