Delivered by a speaker recently retired from NATO, the presentation provides a foundational understanding of disinformation, its historical roots, and its modern manifestations in the age of social media. The core objective is to equip attendees with a framework for identifying and analyzing FIMI campaigns, emphasizing the deliberate, manipulative, and often non-illegal nature of these activities.
