Can social media trigger nuclear war? In our “post-truth” era of bots, trolls, and intemperate presidential tweets, popular social platforms provide a growing medium for manipulation of information directed to individuals, institutions, and global leaders. Targeted influence campaigns have been waged in at least forty-eight countries so far. This volume examines the current reality from a variety of angles, considering how digital misinformation might affect the likelihood of international conflict and how it might influence the perceptions and actions of leaders and their publics before and during a crisis.
- Examine the impact of social media on nuclear conflict risk
