Elizabeth Braw - Russia and China are Adept at Weaponizing Information for Foreign Policy Objectives
GUEST: Elisabeth Braw - Foreign policy expert, analyst and columnist.
----------
We are at risk of losing the information war. The widespread normalisation of disinformation as a political tool is accelerating distrust in democratic institutions and processes. Greyzone warfare is gaining the edge over open, pluralistic societies. Russia and China have also proved adept at weaponizing information for their foreign policy objectives. Governments have held off intervening strongly in the online media sphere, for fear of wrecking classical liberalism, but at what cost?
