  As long as 100% of the information is true, this is fine. When competing powers reveal each other’s dirty secrets, ordinary citizens win. But we need to be careful about injection of various messages in a factually correct information: let’s say, 99% of the facts are true, but a certain person or business is incorrectly mentioned as connected to them. It can be a genuine mistake or it can be an attack on that person or entity. This is just one of the many scenarios of using information warfare. It would be great if a newspaper or independent OSINT team would verify this information.

    Just because 100% of information being true, doesn't make something fine. To quote some senator "I have never owned a private jet". Which is 100% true. His wife did. Something needs to be 100% true and 100% complete - the definition of the latter is very difficult, and probably subjective too.

      Good point. Omitted details also matter, this is why we need free press - to find them.
