Information pollution and the war in Gaza: implications for Singapore by Wong, Yasmine, Haciyakupoglu, Gulizar

“…Besides demonstrating various disinformation types and tactics, there is also the increased resonance of certain disinformation narratives as they overlap and impact on societal sensitivities and identity-based fault lines. These are challenges for Singapore, as societal fault lines present vulnerabilities for disinformation penetration, ultimately affecting social cohesion.…”
