I'd expect to see at least a scattered amount of online PSYOP from military organizations in Israel or the United States[0] or many other countries. It would be wise to keep the following in mind before deciding which ones should change how they're doing it:
- Every one of these organizations is in some secret or not-so-secret budget under "psychological operations." In one form or another this has been considered a normal part of warfare since Sun Tzu.
- Every one of these organizations would say that "criticizing our country online means attacking its reputation" and that "we are defending our country by posting counter-arguments."
- Serious long-term damage happens to any PSYOP group that habitually spreads false information. The fact that the people at many of these organizations certainly know this does not mean that they would never spread false information, just that doing so would make them very bad at their jobs.
