438. Taras Zhovtenko - Unpacking the Authoritarian Toolkit of Propaganda that Russia Exports to the World
Silicon Curtain - En podcast af Jonathan Fink
Disinformation continues to be a threat to Ukrainian sovereignty and is also targeted at Western democracies and allies of Ukraine. Around the world aggressive information warfare threatens information security and social stability, especially in states which Russia seeks to destabilise or coerce into supporting it. As we saw in the 2016 US elections, it can potentially threaten results of voting, place undue influence on voters’ decisions and undermine democratic processes. This is more important than ever, with a slew of elections in 2024 and the advent of exponential AI created fakes. ---------- Taras Zhovtenko has a PhD in National Security and is on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Public Advisory Board. He is a researcher and Analyst in the area of IOPs/PSYOPs, Hybrid Threats, Disinformation, and International Security. ---------- LINKS: https://x.com/TarasZhovtenko https://www.linkedin.com/in/taras-zhovtenko-07246ba0/ ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: kharpp - Reconstruction project supporting communities in Kharkiv and Przemyśl https://kharpp.com/ Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.
