[Hybrid CoE @HybridCoE]

A special thank you to @STRATCOMCOE and @EUvsDisinfo for your cooperation in organizing this event! 2/2

[Hybrid CoE @HybridCoE]

Hybrid CoE ran a second Countering Disinformation Wargame in Riga last week. 7 national teams practiced countering malicious disinformation disseminated by a red cell simulating Russia, China and their proxies in a closed information environment. 1/2

[Hybrid CoE @HybridCoE]

Convergence of #CCP and #Kremlin #disinformation one of the main points of Doowan Lee @pismono’s intervention.
We are seeing Russian #disinformation expertise meet with #China’s limitless resources.

[Hybrid CoE @HybridCoE]

The second day of Hybrid CoE's new #disinformation wargame concentrates on malicious information operations originating from #China.
Intense atmosphere in the control cell. Exercising is an efficient way to learn how to counter disinformation in practice. #StratCom #wargaming

@EllaMinty You are too kind. https://t.co/TGr0ZzKPlt is a great resource. Thank you for having me!! #PowerAndInfluence

[Doowan Lee @doowan_lee]

@EllaMinty It's been a fantastic conversation. Thank you so much for having me!!! #PowerAndInfluence

@EllaMinty Literally... that's the mosh pit I am in.... I am not convinced we would solve this problem looking at regulation or self regulation by tech companies. #PowerAndInfluence

[Doowan Lee @doowan_lee]

@PaulEllisUK @steveprioruk @amywardlaw @EllaMinty @inanmoe As long as we can contextualize what is fiction, opinion, and fact, that's how we stem the tide of xinfo. Not through censorship or an endless pursuit of validity. #PowerAndInfluence And this requires a lot of cost-effective data analytics.

[Doowan Lee @doowan_lee]

@steveprioruk @drcraigfleisher @EllaMinty @amywardlaw @inanmoe @PaulEllisUK 100% #PowerAndInfluence

[Doowan Lee @doowan_lee]

@steveprioruk @PaulEllisUK @amywardlaw @EllaMinty @inanmoe In other words, it is a public policy mandate to provide the context of information to the general public. #PowerAndInfluence We go to the cinemas expecting to watching something fictional. And it is rated.

[Doowan Lee @doowan_lee]

@steveprioruk @PaulEllisUK @amywardlaw @EllaMinty @inanmoe I think we obsess with validity too much. And it's a slippery slope. I'd argue that fiction is a type of misinformation. It's the context of that information that matters. #PowerAndInfluence

[Doowan Lee @doowan_lee]

@drcraigfleisher @amywardlaw @EllaMinty @inanmoe @steveprioruk @PaulEllisUK No nutrition table will eliminate obesity. But it can reduce the rate of obesity. #PowerAndInfluence Same goes for xinfo.

[Doowan Lee @doowan_lee]

@drcraigfleisher @amywardlaw @EllaMinty @inanmoe @steveprioruk @PaulEllisUK True. I don't think we can eliminate xinfo. But we should try to limit its impact on public discourse. #PowerAndInfluence

[Doowan Lee @doowan_lee]

@greenwellys @EllaMinty In fact, it's legal to scrape public content from FB. It's not very hard. It was NOT a ban. It was just the suspension of his access to post more content on FB. #PowerAndInfluence

[Doowan Lee @doowan_lee]

@greenwellys @EllaMinty Ha!! Thanks for bringing this up. Oh... where do I begin? I do informally work with the OB. Note that FB just suspended the publishing privilege of Trump. #PowerAndInfluence

[Doowan Lee @doowan_lee]

@greenwellys @EllaMinty And Trump's content on stop the steal is still on FB. #PowerAndInfluence

[Doowan Lee @doowan_lee]

@amywardlaw @EllaMinty @inanmoe @steveprioruk @PaulEllisUK Yes. But also it's important to have a way of exposing artificially amplified hate speech and polarizing content. When we buy a car, we get information about fuel efficiency and pollution levels. I can't imagine why we should do so with online content. #PowerAndInfluence

[Doowan Lee @doowan_lee]

@_Rafiat @samvonwallace @steveprioruk @rfzeitlin @EllaMinty @drcraigfleisher I'd also like to note that it is technically mature to surface polorization using natural language processing. Again... informing the public about who's amplifying polarizing content is key. #PowerAndInfluence

[Doowan Lee @doowan_lee]

@PaulEllisUK @EllaMinty I just call it xinfo as in sin-faw. :) #PowerAndInfluence
