My latest piece for the @MiddleEastEye on the anniversary of the Gulf Crisis - "Qatar blockade: Saudi-led disinformation war is the tip of the iceberg" middleeasteye.net/opinion/qatar-…
"What set the Qatar crisis apart is that it was one of the first international crises to have been initiated around a pre-orchestrated hack and disinformation campaign."
"Despite Twitter having knowingly suspended thousands of accounts connected to Saudi, Emirate and Egyptian information operations, the information war does not show signs of abating....."
"....On the contrary, Gulf regimes are exploiting multiple global political issues to force home an anti-Qatar, anti-Iranian and anti-Turkish agenda. "
"The cumulative impact of all this disinformation is disturbing in its reach. From the English Premier League, to coronavirus, few issues are left untouched." #nufctakeover
