Abstract :
[en] Disinformation has become a constant presence in the age of social media, making it increasingly difficult to assess the credibility of information. Russia is the main actor in this domain.
Though disinformation is as old as civilisation—with examples found in the Bible, ancient mythologies, and historical sources—it was the advent of the Internet, and particularly the ability for users to publish anonymously, that triggered its explosive growth.
The problem intensified with the rise of social media, where users are bombarded daily with content from unverified sources. Even established and reputable media outlets occasionally fall victim to spreading falsehoods.
Disinformation and support for those who disseminate it have also become tools in hybrid warfare strategies aimed at destabilising Europe—strategies employed not only by Russia but increasingly by China as well.
