Think of online anonymity as being one person in a vast crowd. Every piece of personal information you reveal reduces the size of that crowd, the group of people you could plausibly be. For example, revealing your gender cuts the number of potential identities roughly in half.

One way to regain some anonymity is through deliberate disinformation. Suppose you share \(n\) independent yes/no facts about yourself, but intentionally flip \(k\) of them (without the attacker knowing which). In that case, you increase the number of identities consistent with your answers by a factor of \(C(n,k)\).

The Truth Layer: Building Digital Trust in an Era of Disinformation.

Misleading headlines, out-of-context quotes, fake accounts pretending to be news….disinformation is everywhere, and it’s meant to confuse and divide us.

But we’re not powerless. Being a little more skeptical, asking a few questions, and double-checking sources can go a long way. #DemocratsAbroad #ThinkBeforeYouShare #Disinformation #VoteFromAbroad

'Free speech' isn't a free pass to spread lies. Recognise when it's being used as a smokescreen to avoid accountability for disinformation. With rights come responsibilities. #ThinkBeforeYouShare #MediaLiteracy

NATO’s approach to countering disinformation

NATO views disinformation as the deliberate creation and dissemination of false or manipulated information with the intent to deceive or mislead. The word “disinformation” is commonly used as an umbrella term to represent a wide range of tactics, techniques and procedures, which are described by NATO as “hostile information activities.” These activities seek to deepen divisions within and between NATO member countries and ultimately weaken the Alliance.
