Comment on U.S. Unleashes Military to Fight Fake News, Disinformation

Comments

I'm a bit confused on what sort of authorities anyone's got here or what the actual intent of the program is. Ultimately, does DOD have any sort of authorities to do anything about potential US person speech and how would that be constitutional? They have a need to understand who's doing what in various theaters, but I'm not sure why anyone would want DOD messing with content in the US.

They aren't necessarily going to (try to) defend against misinformation. You'll also want to study defense if your objective is offense - knowing how the other side will defend will hopefully lead to finding ways around that defense.
