US EditionCSIS disinformation campaign leans on Soviet imagery, as Ottawa tracks 'grey media'
- The Canadian Security Intelligence Service is using Soviet imagery in its social media campaign to raise awareness about disinformation, but experts argue that Russia is more likely to use images resembling North American sources. The CSIS campaign features a font resembling the Cyrillic alphabet and a Russian nesting doll, aiming to educate the public about the risks of disinformation.
- The messaging in the CSIS campaign has been criticized for being unclear and fear-inducing. However, CSIS states that the campaign is intended to inform Canadians about the threats posed by all hostile state actors, not just Russia. Open democracies like Canada are vulnerable to disinformation, particularly with the proliferation of social media.
- Russian disinformation attempts often resemble interactions from North American or Canadian sources rather than Russia itself. Analysis from Rapid Response Mechanism Canada suggests that many messages supportive of Russia come from websites that resemble North American or European media and spread Kremlin narratives and conspiracy theories undermining Ukraine.
