Information Warfare — Revision Notes

⚡ 30-Second Revision

Falsehood, intent and context differ. Forty copies of one screenshot are not forty independent sources. Authentic pixels do not verify a caption. Secure account access does not guarantee accurate content. Check the original claim, date and denominator.

2-Minute Revision

Information warfare involves information-related effects on decisions and systems. Analyse the specific mechanism rather than label disagreement as hostile. Misinformation and disinformation differ by intent in the usual distinction.

Genuine old media can be misleadingly contextualised. Repetition measures circulation, not independent verification. Twenty incidents in one thousand observations is two percent; thirty in three thousand is one percent.

Technical access recovery and factual correction address different problems. Institutional training reports establish training events, not campaign success.

5-Minute Revision

Assess a screenshot repeated by forty accounts: trace its source and specify what would verify the claim. Then assess a genuine flood image with a false date and location; write a correction that does not wrongly call the image fabricated. Calculate the two incident proportions and explain why neither proves causation. Finally, distinguish restoring an account from correcting its published content and identify the evidence required for each.

Source, context, denominator, intent: check each before turning a circulating claim into a conclusion.
