What's the next frontier for disinfo operations?

Big question I have at #HewlettVerify conference in Calif over the past few days

If 2015/2016 Russian disinfo happened because of failure of imagination, what can we imagine happens next?
Posed question to @noUpside, @persily and @CraigSilverman

They suggested to focus on innovative marketing techniques -- marketing can be co-opted to become propaganda
@noUpside @persily @CraigSilverman Other ideas form #HewlettVerify include the 1) use of WhatsApp for disinformation -- it's becoming the dominant means of communication in the developing world

2) Deep fakes

3) Professional international industry for bots/election interference
@noUpside @persily @CraigSilverman And 4) the Internet of Things poses a disinformation threat

When you ask Alexa a question, she gives you one answer -- the process of determining what that answer is matters
