On October 21, IScann Group released a white paper titled “Manipulated: The Challenge of Disinformation Campaigns in the Age of Synthetic Media,” written by Forward Defense non-resident senior fellow Tate Nurkin. In the paper, he examines the consequences of the growth of disinformation campaigns and lays out recommendations for countering this unique threat.
