    Such disinformation campaigns come, among others, by malicious state actors, namely Russia and China, and are heavily backed by propagandists across the web, including the so-called ‘tankies’ here on Lemmy. I am wondering what they think about that. And how they feel.

    As an addition, a quick reminder that 1.5 percentage points of the Nato countries’ 5% GDP military spending target is earmarked for areas beyond traditional military defense such as fighting disinformation campaigns, arson attacks, cyber attacks, and things like that.

    “Battles”. They don’t really care, come on now. If they cared, they’d be educating people, but they need a dumb populace in order to control them more easily.

      If they really cared, they’d protect children from this form of parental neglect by making the relevant vaccines mandatory.

    If only a government of a country had other means of preventing disease and death of children through parental neglect than “battling misinformation”.

    Make these vaccinations mandatory and be done with it.
