Disinformation is false or misleading information deliberately spread to deceive people, or to secure economic or political gain and which may cause public harm. Disinformation is an orchestrated adversarial activity in which actors employ strategic deceptions and media manipulation tactics to advance political, military, or commercial goals. Disinformation is implemented through coordinated campaigns that "weaponize multiple rhetorical strategies and forms of knowing—including not only falsehoods but also truths, half-truths, and value judgements—to exploit and amplify culture wars and other identity-driven controversies." In contrast, misinformation refers to inaccuracies that stem from i…

HEALING OUR REPUBLIC WITH A COVID-19 ERA INNOVATION: ONLINE JURIES AS A BARRIER TO DEMOCRATIC BACKSLIDING. The coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic reshaped modern life. Unprecedented demands like “social distancing” gave long-standing institutions an abrupt choice: adapt or die. The realization in mid-2020 that Covid-19 was here to stay forced courts to evolve. Temporary changes fueled by necessity eventually became embraced for convenience; courts grew reliant on online platforms like Zoom. Benefits for lawyers, judges, and jurors included increased access, convenience, efficiency, transparency, and civic-education opportunities. Across organizations, a key adjustment involved increasing their…

Rather than stand alone incidents, manipulation operations reflect systemic issues within digital advertising markets and infrastructures.

Disinformation attacks are strategic deception campaigns involving media manipulation and internet manipulation, to disseminate misleading information, aiming to confuse, paralyze, and polarize an audience. Disinformation can be considered an attack when it involves orchestrated and coordinated efforts to build an adversarial narrative campaign that weaponizes multiple rhetorical strategies and forms of knowing—including not only falsehoods but also truths, half-truths, and value-laden judgments—to exploit and amplify identity-driven controversies. Disinformation attacks use media manipulation to target broadcast media like state-sponsored TV channels and radios. Due to the increasing use o…

Internet censorship is the legal control or suppression of what can be accessed, published, or viewed on the Internet. Censorship is most often applied to specific internet domains (such as Wikipedia.org, for example) but exceptionally may extend to all Internet resources located outside the jurisdiction of the censoring state. Internet censorship may also put restrictions on what information can be made internet accessible. Organizations providing internet access – such as schools and libraries – may choose to preclude access to material that they consider undesirable, offensive, age-inappropriate or even illegal, and regard this as ethical behavior rather than censorship. Individuals and…

In internet slang, rage-baiting (also ragebaiting, rage-farming, or rage-seeding) is the manipulative tactic of eliciting outrage with the goal of increasing internet traffic, online engagement, and revenue, as well as attracting new subscribers, followers, or supporters. This manipulation occurs through offensive or inflammatory headlines, memes, tropes, or comments that provoke users to respond in kind. The related terms rage-seeding and rage-farming specifically describe the process by which content creators intentionally sow outrage to harvest (farm) online engagement, thereby amplifying their message. Political actors have employed rage-baiting as a tactic against their opponents, whil…

Internet manipulation and propaganda has been sponsored by sovereign states to influence elections, sow distrust in institutions, and spread rumors and disinformation, typically using bots, troll farms, or influencers to create and spread content, particularly via social media. Propaganda is used internally to control populations, and externally to influence other societies. The term foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI) is also used, particularly by the European Union, for state-sponsored Internet propaganda.

Manipulation Via Endowments in a Market with Profit Maximizing Agents. In this paper we show that it is possible to manipulate market equilibria in an economy with profit maximizing agents (or exchange economies with quasi-linear utilities and hence interest free money as a means of transfer among agents) by either destroying or withholding ones initial endowments. Example 1 of this paper is an instance of a very simple economy, where every competitive extended allocation is vulnerable to manipulation via both misrepresentation of productive capabilities as well as destruction or withholding of endowments.
