How do we make our societies more resilient to hybrid threats? We need a whole-of-society approach, @HybridCoE Director Teija Tiilikainen says.
Russian state-backed content dominates search engine results, ASD Senior Fellow Bret Schafer explains. State-backed outlets are particularly effective at filling data voids, which allows them to "essentially own that space."

Women in public life are often targeted with gendered disinformation, @LauraLThornton says.

In the lead up to the German election, we found that Green candidate Annalena Baerbock faced sexist allegations and more negative coverage than male competitors. securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/targeting-baer…
"A resilient society is a society that safeguards human rights and democratic values," @HybridCoE's Teija Tiilikainen says. Authoritarian models are gaining ground globally, so we have to fight for the democratic model, she says.

President Biden’s trip to showcase democracies' ability to meet challenges and deter threats culminates with a one-on-one meeting with Putin on Wednesday. What can Biden hope to achieve in this sit down? ASD experts weigh in.
securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/what-to-watch-…
"Can the two presidents actually put aside a laundry list of deep grievances to move the needle on tackling climate change? It may be difficult to even get that far on the meeting’s agenda," Deputy Director David Salvo writes.
More than a dozen significant cyber incidents have been linked to Russia-based groups in the past 6 months. "It is obvious that Putin has no intention of stifling a growing segment of the Russian economy that is both highly-skilled and highly-profitable," @TypeMRT says.

"Resilience is NATO's first line of defense," @NKovalcikova says to open the session. #BrusselsForum
"Ukraine remains a strong and reliable partner of NATO," @StefanishynaO says. We should strive for a coordinated approach to resilience among NATO allies and other democracies that strive for better values, she explains.
"The future of NATO is being decided today," @StefanishynaO says. The world has changed radically, and new threats have emerged since NATO was founded. The struggle between value systems such as democracy and autocracy will shape international security. #BrusselsForum

While we await @FBoversight’s decision on former President Trump's fate on the platform, ASD experts weigh in on what this decision could mean for tech self-regulation, the big questions facing lawmakers, and our democracy. 🧵washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
According to @LindsayPGorman, this Facebook Oversight decision is a key litmus test for whether country-sized technology companies can effectively regulate themselves. It also could be one of the simplest decisions the board will face.
The decisions FB Oversight will have to make in the next 5 years are far more complicated. How it goes about this decision and the framework it establishes today will give us a clue as to whether Facebook is up to the task of 21st century self-regulation, @LindsayPGorman says
