Cette campagne se déroule à l'aide de plusieurs tactiques :

Ils ont créé un narratif selon lequel le gvt, les plateformes & les membres de la société académique & civile comploteraient ensemble afin de "censurer" l'opinion publique américaine. La "lutte contre la désinformation étrangère" serait un motif pour faire taire le public, notamment les Républicains

Depuis janvier 2023, les Républicains ont lancé une campagne d'intimidation à l'encontre de la communauté de lutte contre les manipulations de l'information étrangères aux États-Unis.

Another type of weaponization looming upon US elections : the "Weaponization” of public records requests to election offices. How to rub salt in the wound.

A new standard for describing the origin, history and legal rights to data : "The standards are essentially a labeling system for where, when and how data was collected and generated, as well as its intended use and restrictions."

Taiwan and the True Sources of Deterrence Why America must reassure, not just threaten, China.

If the United States wants to prevent war in the Taiwan Strait, it will need more than weapons in arsenals and strategies on the planning table, write @bglaser.bsky.social, Jessica Chen Weiss, and Thomas Christensen. Washington must also provide Beijing with credible assurances.

@vivianschiller.bsky.social about the political context "not super great" for US Elections in 2024.
Usual suspects : mis & disinformation, polarization, bad actors.

New issues : 2 divisive wars, platforms cutting staff, cooling of the academic researchers & com to platforms, new powerful AI.

This article details the impact, but the problem is simple: a handful of election deniers - some who hold Congressional gavels - are running smear campaigns targeting election workers and researchers, to ensure they are able to act unopposed in 2024. It’s about power.
