The United States has informed European countries that they have abandoned the joint efforts to combat disinformation.
States destroy agreements with European countries in the fight against false information from Russia, China and Iran. Financial Times reported this reference to European officials.
As mentioned, the United States has reported the European state that they have refused to combine efforts to combat false information.
Last week, European countries received a notice from the State Department that the United States was destroying the memorandums of understanding signed last year under the president of Joe Biden, aimed at developing a single approach to identifying and exposing malignant information distributed by foreign governments to create chaos.
Memorandums are part of the initiative that the State Department agency is abroad – the Global Interaction Center (GEC), which is struggling with misinformation distributed abroad to United States opponents and terrorist groups.
According to diplomat and journalist James Rubin, who ruled the center until December, this step was the “unilateral action of disarmament” in the war of information with Russia and China.
As you know, the center was created in 2011 to prevent terrorist propaganda and violent extremism on the Internet. Later, he also began to monitor and expose misinformation campaigns abroad.
President Donald Trump’s administration has removed a number of government agencies, GEC is also closed.
In recent years, Russia has been conducting an aggressive campaign of misinformation to sow chaos and undermine the support of Ukraine and the Western World Order.
Last year, in September, GEC accused the Russian State Television Channel RT of acting in the interest of Russian special services using cyberspions, and trying to manipulate the president’s election in Moldova.
States have imposed sanctions on RT and other Russian state television channels for their role in spreading false information. After a full -scale invasion of Russia of Ukraine, the TV channel was banned in Europe.
Remember that this year in January, the European Parliament voted for a resolution to the misinformation and lies of Russian history, used to manipulate public opinion and justify the war against Ukraine.
