Facebook’s ex-security chief on disinformation campaigns: 'The sexiest explanation is usually not true'

Summary:

But this is only going to get harder because the truth is, if you look globally at disinformation campaigns, the median victim of a professional disinformation campaign is a victim of a campaign being run by their own government against the domestic audience. If you look at India, the disinformation is not being driven by foreign adversaries, it’s being driven by the Indian political parties. That makes the attribution question very complicated for the tech companies. So that’s something the media needs to keep in mind.
