Disinformation threatens our rules-based social cohesion

Instead of singling out and blaming social media, we should be working with companies to help impair the ability of malignant actors to weaponize it in their information warfare.

During the Ottawa trucker protests, pictured Feb. 12, 2022, Russia’s RT provided a platform for those calling for the removal of Canada’s democratically elected government. Such foreign interference promotes deeper radicalization while concurrently undermining the concerns of legitimate protesters, write Stan Kutcher and Marcus Kolga.
