> It is, when spread over the internet in a systematic and intentional way. It literally is social engineering. I tend to agree. Yet, the problem here, I think, is that like all people with a technical background, cyber security people are ill-suited to handle the issue; you really need those "damned" social scientists and humanists to understand the context and societal implications, such as: > There is a serious problem with misinformation causing radicalization and SV is doing only the bare minimum to give congress lip service, and it is getting measurably worse. Another big problem, as I've argued here before, is the securitization that comes with cyber security people and these "misinfosec" things or whatever you want to call them.
