| Title | Warfare & Social Media: Disinformation and Propaganda in the Digital Age |
| Summary | Information warfare is a complex and rapidly evolving phenomenon with far-reaching implications for global politics, security, and social stability. Within this landscape, the role of Twitter as a critical battleground for information warfare cannot be understated, as many actively exploit the platform to shape narratives, mobilize support, and influence global perceptions. This study investigates the extent of propaganda and disinformation employed on state-sponsored Twitter accounts within the context of information warfare. This study contributes to our understanding of information warfare by examining the role of propaganda and disinformation during the Russo- Ukraine War. By uncovering common trends and narratives employed by Russia and Ukraine, this research enhances our knowledge of information warfare dynamics, highlight common characteristics, and underscores the importance of proactive strategies to counter propaganda in the contemporary information landscape. |
