Disinformation is eroding trust in public institutions and threatening democracies around the world. We're working with our @ObamaFoundation Scholars and leaders to combat these forces, break through barriers, and meet their communities where they are.

A major disinformation campaign linked to networks operating from Israel spread anti-Muslim and anti-migrant propaganda across 30 countries, generating an estimated 800 million advertising impressions, according to a new investigation by researchers Marc Owen Jones and Sohan D’Souza. The operation, which ran from October 2023 to October 2026, reportedly spent $8.2 million on social media advertisements, AI-generated videos and misleading content promoting racist narratives and the far-right “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory.

AI-generated disinformation is targeting U.S. elections just days before the midterms. AP reports that suspected Russia-linked videos are using AI-generated content and manipulated footage to spread fabricated allegations against Senate candidates Sherrod Brown in Ohio and James Talarico in Texas. The videos misuse real people's names, photographs, and identities to make false accusations appear credible. Media forensic experts say the content resembles previous Russian disinformation campaigns that targeted the 2024 presidential election. As AI becomes more powerful and accessible, its ability to manufacture convincing disinformation poses a growing threat to election security and public trust.

A recent Cyborg disinformation campaign attempted to spread lies amongst our citizens regarding the efficacy of Termicide 2.0. The Cyborgs have evidently continued investing resources into spreading falsehoods and disunity, likely recognizing they are hopelessly outmatched in conventional warfare. Citizen confidence in government messaging is of paramount importance. The Helldivers are ordered to pause construction of the TCS+ in order to liberate MEISSA, where these duplicitous files were believed to have been fabricated.
