Good overview piece. The psyop in the Phillipines was particularly egregious but received almost no coverage.

You mention that a huge number of people were deplatformed for a vaccine disinformation during the pandemic. I genuinely do t remember that? Is there a good empirical piece detailing this?

It wasn't disinformation. It was the truth, and yes .. thousands of people were deplatformed or censored on Insta, FB, YT, Tiktok, X.

The Pentagon’s disinformation campaign is an alarming revelation and perfectly encapsulates the kind of geopolitical games being played behind the scenes that most people are unaware of. It's disheartening to realize that the U.S. government actively undermined efforts to save lives, all to maintain influence in a strategic region. This is a stark reminder of how politics can often be divorced from ethical considerations, particularly in the realm of foreign policy. The New Cold War, as you aptly put it, is shifting how we interact with global crises, with memes and drone displays becoming part of the political and military strategy. It’s a brave new world of warfare and information battles, and it’s hard not to feel the weight of what’s at stake here.
