Samantha Vinograd: When Disinformation Spreads on Social Media, It Benefits Our Adversaries

EXCERPT:

VINOGRAD: “We know that in today's threat environment disinformation is, unfortunately, becoming the norm rather than the exception when it comes to election security and it's having a direct impact. We know that there's been an unprecedented level of physical threats arising out of election related disinformation. January 6th is just one example. The Department of Justice's election threats task force has made 17 arrests, 13 convictions in their ongoing investigations. And when election related disinformation spreads, every American needs to understand that does give a benefit to our adversaries, Russia and China, who want to sow discord and undermine our democratic processes.”
