"The same disinformation campaigns that epitomize the divisions in US
society — beliefs in voter fraud, vaccine conspiracies, and racist
conspiracies about migrants, George Soros and Black Lives Matter, to
name a few — are a source of strength for autocracies like Russia,
where the lack of a consensus on which groups and views are real and
which are manufactured by the state strengthens the hand of Putin and
his clutch of oligarchs."
Cory Doctorow summarises the recent Farrell and Schneier papers on
disinformation.
