EU MONITOR | THREE RESPONSES TO DISINFORMATION IN THE EUROPEAN UNION
Disinformation and foreign interference have been concerns in global politics for centuries, but social media algorithms have made the current threat more dire as they amplify content based on human frailties such as our obsession with negativity and outrage. Russian interference in the 2016 US federal election and other elections and referenda in at least twenty countries between November 2016 and April 2019, including the Brexit referendum, the French and German elections, and the Ukrainian power grid cyber-attacks, have highlighted the potential for foreign governments to alter the results of an election or undermine democracies using social media and other means. Writes Jakub Ferenčík in his last EU MONITOR.

EU MONITOR | THREE RESPONSES TO DISINFORMATION IN THE EUROPEAN UNION
Dezinformace a zahraniční vměšování jsou v globální politice problémem již po staletí, ale současná hrozba je díky algoritmům sociálních médií ještě hrozivější, protože posilují obsah založený na lidských slabostech, jako je naše posedlost negativitou a rozhořčením. Ruské zásahy do federálních voleb v USA v roce 2016 a dalších voleb a referend v nejméně dvaceti zemích v období od listopadu 2016 do dubna 2019, včetně referenda o brexitu, francouzských a německých voleb a kybernetických útoků na ukrajinskou energetickou síť, poukázaly na potenciál zahraničních vlád změnit výsledky voleb nebo podkopat demokracie pomocí sociálních médií a dalších prostředků. Píše Jakub Ferenčík ve svém posledním EU MONITORu.
