ABSTRACT

The information age has transformed society by allowing people to interact digitally, yet it enables motivated actors to use mass influence to further their political objectives. The struggle against disinformation requires an appreciation of how a disinformation effect can be achieved in order to counter it. We consider the nature of disinformation and its use in the hybrid warfare domain, before examining the problem through frames of planning approach, truth theory, systems thinking, and military strategy. These approaches are informative in developing counter-strategies and we specifically identify the concept of kill chains as a useful framework to assist in the disinformation challenge.

摘要

信息时代通过允许人们进行数字交互改变了社会，但它也使积极的参与者能够利用大众影响力来推进他们的政治目标。与虚假信息的斗争需要了解如何才能达到虚假信息的效果以对抗它。我们先考虑虚假信息的性质及其在混合战争领域的使用，然后再通过规划方法、真值理论、系统思维和军事战略的框架来研究问题。这些方法在制定反制策略方面提供了信息，我们特别将杀伤链的概念确定为有助于应对虚假信息挑战的有用框架。
