Когнитивная война

[tijd]

Алексей Юрчак, профессор антропологии Калифорнийского университета в Беркли:

«Задача путинской системы не в том, чтобы насаждать некую стройную картину, а создать впечатление, что истины вообще нет, что любая правда - это высказывание, за спиной которого стоят некие финансово-властные интересы. Ни во что верить в принципе нельзя, ни в чем полностью разобраться невозможно. Недаром они все время вкидывают новые версии разных событий. Вспомните малайзийский "Боинг". Меня тогда поражало, сколько было версий того, как его сбили, причем эти версии друг другу противоречили. Это не проблема для такой машины пропаганды, потому что здесь важно не столько описать, что на самом деле произошло, сколько создать впечатление, что невозможно понять, что на самом деле произошло.»

Термин сегодняшнего дня - "cognitive warfare":

Some of these non-kinetic, Cognitive Warfare activities are obvious and direct: receivers of Russian aligned disinformation experience deterioration in their ability to identify fact from fiction, decaying their mental resilience, and with potential long-term impact, such as loss of trust in media.

Эффект от «когнитивной войны» хорошо заметен в Америке, переваривающей наследие трампизма. Среди жертв этой войны - богатейший человек планеты, владелец влиятельной социальной сети.



As Elon Musk launches attacks against news outlets like The New York Times, NPR, and BBC, at least one media outlet is reaping the benefits of Musk’s ownership of Twitter. Russian state propaganda arm RT - which has been compared to the ministry of defense and described as an “information weapon” by its own editor-in-chief - has recently experienced sharp growth in its follower count as well as increased engagement with its tweets, coinciding with Musk’s decision to lift the restrictions that were placed on Kremlin-linked accounts in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last year.
According to The Telegraph, Kremlin-linked accounts have not only had restrictions on their accounts lifted, but they’ve actually been getting algorithmically boosted and pushed into people’s “For You” feeds, as well as appearing in lists of recommended accounts to follow.
All of this is happening just as Musk is waging war on credible news outlets like The New York Times, NPR, and BBC. Last week, Musk referred to The New York Times as “propaganda” and then singled them out, making them the first and only (thus far) news outlet to lose their blue verification checkmark. A few days later, he erroneously decided to label NPR as “state-affiliated media,” putting them in the same category as RT, Sputnik, and state-run media controlled by autocratic regimes. <…>
In the course of just a week, Musk’s erratic leadership resulted in two major, credible news organizations leaving the platform just as Russia’s “information weapon” RT got a boost from Twitter’s algorithm, leading to a surge in engagement and followers for an account linked to a regime that is actively committing war crimes. If you had any doubt that Twitter under Musk’s leadership is a national security threat, this should put an end to that.
