It's a good question, but I think there's a pretty clear distinction between propaganda and trolling that is not just intent but has to do with the 'spin' of the information. The same vagaries that would allow the US to

Definitely not all strategic communications could be detected and blocked. However some research has been tasked on the issue. Take "Antisocial Behavior in Online Discussion Communities" ( http://arxiv.org/pdf/

The question was serious. Malicious actions could certainly include propaganda operations and indeed there has been a growing investment across social networks to block content specific to certain ideas considered dangerous, disinformation

This is true, I would expect a number of countries to be able to pull it off if they were inclined to. Iran, Russia, China, Syria, US, Turkey, Iraq, Saudi Arabia. Those are the choices. Palestine is very unlikely - though they have used vid

ISIL is used as a proxy force by all powers that can effectively manipulate them, but they are also a force of their own. The US heavily invests in using video games for propaganda and ISIL and Sunni-insurgent forces have been exposed to a

This is tangentially related to the same general topic, so I hope it is welcomed here. Methods for state censorship are making their way onto content providers online. For example, in the United States we have a system across Twitter, Reddi

Windows now broadcasts and collects information about what you type in when you search for programs (in charm/modern shell). That doesn't mean it goes 'upstream'. But it is startling how far we've come. I remember t

I didn't. I looked it up and found that it was indeed close to the first WTC bombing (though also close to other bombings like the Unabomber campaign).
