Synopsis:
In the era of information democratization, the Internet serves as a double-edged sword. While facilitating rapid information dissemination and global collaborations, it also provides a platform for state actors to exert covert influence, often through third-party proxies, thereby complicating countermeasures. These tactics, known as Hybrid Conflict or Grayzone Tactics, pose a significant threat to democratic institutions. Despite the critical role of social media in these influence operations, existing literature often overlooks the overarching strategies involved, particularly the concept of “information laundering.” This talk will cover elements of an ongoing research project at Purdue that explores cases demonstrating information laundering tactics, characteristics that help with detection, and known ways of reporting potentially damaging content online.
