More #Russian #InformationOperations. Short π§΅π
Dmitry Medvedev:
I will note one thing that politicians of all stripes do not like to admit: a nuclear Apocalypse is not only possible, but also quite likely. Why?
There are at least two reasons.
#informationoperations #Russian
Documents from a Russian IT contractor give insights into the methodology and tools to develop, manage, and execute information operations.

They include 2 frameworks with information on how to scan and collect data at scale, how to structure databases for it, how to store and organize data for information confrontation and psychological operations and a training platform for exercising coordinated IO/OT attacks.
I'm glad to see documentation of a strategy we tried to raise awareness of back in 2018 in Europe: The sophisticated combination of IO and "classic" cyber attacks.

RFI- What are your go-to for identifying BOT Farms on the Fediverse?
@fediverseobserver do you have any opinion on Fediverse Bot Farms? Or How to identify them?
Counter Social (CoSo), which is its own thing released the following. In addition, to BotFarms trying to influence CoSo, CoSo noted 18,477 Fedievrse Botfarm accounts through ActivityPub.
An interesting observation

#Humanitarian & #development #NGOs are targeted by #cyberattacks & #informationoperations They do not have capacity to both be on the frontline of #aid delivery & respond to #cyberthreats This is why on #WorldNGODay we @CyberpeaceInst launch the Humanitarian #Cybersecurity Center https://twitter.com/CyberpeaceInst/status/1630130961772953600

"Interval-censored Transformer Hawkes: Detecting Information
Operations using the Reaction of Social System"
I'd go so far as to argue that post-truth politics were born in #Fallujah by US #InformationOperations

#fallujah #informationoperations
I used to try to be much more active in creating/collaborating on media content about #Iraq. Then very quickly Iraq ceased to be a current event and became #history. My instinct is that the American #memory of Iraq was (and continues to be) constructed through media and the trickle down of representations into pop culture. Part of the US #InformationOperations strategy during the occupation was to saturate the media with curated content about its activities. 1/

How organizations manage #data, #information and #knowledge are only somewhat apparent to the onlooker. Yet, because you can't see it does not mean that it's not happening behind the scenes or not hindering or helping achieve goals. The handling and flow of data, information, and knowledge internal to the organization profoundly impact the organization's ability to influence and interact in the external information environment. Often organizations don't know what they already know or can't find the lessons they already learned when they need it. #knowledgemanagement #informationoperations #lessonslearned

I've been here for a while, but time for a re- #introduction:
I'm Scott or Vortex Egg, and I'm a cursed librarian. I work at the intersection of #technology, #informationscience, and #collectivebehavior on mitigating informational harms and violent extremism. I am currently pursuing an MLIS degree and am employed as the tech lead of a related nonprofit.
My work and research touch on:
**Digital extremism**
The influence of digital technologies, #misinformation, #propaganda, and #informationoperations on the emergence of #cults, #conspiracytheories, and #terrorism and violent #extremism.
**Cursed library science**
The management of harmful information, #contentmoderation and #TrustAndSafety, #digitalarchiving & #digitalpreservation, and #research methods for #cursedknowledge.
**Collective information science**
Theories of collective #informationbehavior, including #sensemaking, #crisisinformatics and #rumoring, the dynamics of #informationecosystems, and corrupted and stigmatized #informationseeking.
**Complexity science**
My work is informed by a qualitative and applied approach to #complexityscience, #systemsthinking, and #complexsystems as well as...
**Critical technology**
A critical and analytical perspective on #sociotechnical systems, #surveillance and #algorithms, #cybernetics, and #swarmintelligence.

5. Julia Palmiano Federer, We Do Negotiate with Terrorists: Navigating Liberal and Illiberal
Norms in Peace Mediation
Despite its title, this paper moves beyond the value weighted "liberal/illiberal" norms dichotomy. It also looks at 'norm entrepreneurs', a category that I find useful in understanding *intent* of non-state #informationoperations #disinformation actors, esp. when States outsource influence ops.
