Disinformation in the Cyber Age

With Toddy Huntley, Director National Security Law Program, Georgetown University Law Center

Speaker Bio:
Bio for Todd Huntley

Abstract:
Disinformation in the Cyber Age
Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election, the spread of misinformation related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the threat of deep fakes have all increased government – and public – attention on the national security threats posed by both State and non-State actors’ use of information and disinformation. Whether referred to as propaganda, psychological operations, influence operations, or information warfare, States have used information to further their national security interests for many years. While these activities are not new, cyber capabilities and modern communications technologies have increased both their reach and effectiveness. The use of data to micro-target audiences via social media, leveraging hacked and leaked information, the dissemination of non and misattributed messages to a mass audience, and the potential use of deep fakes all challenge current policy approaches and existing legal norms. This discussion will examine how information is being leveraged to challenge national security, the legal issues surrounding the use of information as an element of national power, and approaches in defending against this increasing threat.
