GP WMD Counter Disinfo

WMD disinformation is a set of carefully constructed false messages leaked to an opponent‘s communication system in order to deceive the decision-making elite or the public. The purpose is to weaken adversaries from the inside and undermine collective responses to challenges. As a campaign, it is best understood as a type of information warfare.

As the lines between reality and deception become blurred, the potential for large-scale mobilization of people and resources around false narratives in a pandemic, and other crises, creates significant global threats. The ability to recognize and counter WMD disinformation and threats is paramount.
