Gaza is now the frontline of a global information war

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, February 7, 2024

To understand this information war, we need to understand where and how arguments and ideologies are promoted and developed online.

Key Points: 
  • To understand this information war, we need to understand where and how arguments and ideologies are promoted and developed online.
  • But much material relies on the creation of what’s commonly referred to as fake news.
  • This often takes the form of fabricated stories published on social media that repurpose or mislabel real photos or videos.
  • These are groups who identify the messages they think will change attitudes and amplify them through coordinating social media campaigns.
  • The information war in Gaza is a war of values, and a war of behaviours, of establishing who is “them” and who are “us”.
  • The danger is that in shaping the view of the public, the information war could have an impact on governments and on the battlefield.
