This week, Jim Ludes and Mark Jacobson discuss the Director of National Intelligence's efforts to pass-off disinformation about the 2016 Russian disinformation campaign, a fact that only served the purpose of those who want to undermine public-confidence in American elections and institutions. Then, they turn to pro-Russian TikTok accounts that are telling a fairy-tale about Russian occupation and reconstruction in the Donbas—on their own, they tell a story about the creation of a false, local information space to advance Russian narratives.  From the “Nothing is Sacred” file: dating apps are being used as a vehicle for hybrid warfare and disinformation. That’s right: dating apps.  Finally, the migrant warfare playbook—whether in England or Spain—exploits the same xenophobia and hate.
