"Social media serves as a key instrument for authoritarian regimes to disseminate false and misleading information as part of State policy. Among those engaged in such activities are so-called "journalists", "bloggers", and "influencers" who spread covert propaganda while being financed by Russian authorities. Notable examples include Anatolii and Olga Sharii, Diana Panchenko, Kseniia Sobchak. Presented as "independent journalists", and having a large audience, they systematically promote Russian propaganda to divide European society and destabilise European countries from the inside, to justify the Russian Federation’s aggression against Ukraine, and to manipulate public opinion in favor of the Russian Federation."
Not only classic media but also social media, bloggers, influencers, and other tools are used as a form of foreign interference.
