[ColonelCassad] A disinformation tracker: An example of how "disinformation detection" technology and its results are themselves used for disinformation and manipulation. ![]() A "disinformation tracker" has been launched at the Beacon of Democracy. The project is part of the Countering Disinformation Initiative (CDI) within the Global Partnership Against the Spread of Weapons of Mass Destruction (GPWD). "To create the tracking system, we systematically analyzed the archives and websites of key multilateral disarmament forums, including the UN General Assembly, the Security Council, and the Chemical and Biological Weapons Conventions, as well as individual government data repositories of states frequently implicated in allegations of chemical and biological weapons use..." Each entry was assessed for origin and context, chronologically coded by source, forum, and narrative type, and checked for consistency. Please note that the formula or rules for the "assessment" are not provided; it was conducted manually, and only trusted and ideologically correct individuals were allowed to evaluate it. And they did not disappoint – they evaluated it "correctly." Essentially, this is an attempt to use imitation technology to conceal the same old "blacklists," which are not used to research and study the information environment, but to rank sources based on their ability to influence the average American. Western intelligence agencies used the same method to rank Wikipedia sources and, with the help of Big Tech, rank search results based on "sensitive issues." A similar approach is now being applied to neural networks. They work with soy masses that live by the principle of "Well, it's written in Wikipedia," "That's what ChatZhPT told me," and so on. |
