Disinformation Deconstructed- Cognition Security and Digital Control

Abstract

Fake News and Deepfakes have lately been highlighted in informative videos, research papers, and literature reviews as tools for disinformation, along with filter bubble and echo chamber, polarization, and mistrust. To counteract the unconventional weapons of word and imagery, a new research area has been defined as cognition security, a transdisciplinary area to understand the threats hybrid wars currently make use of and to determine the proper measures against non-kinetic offensives. For this, data mining and deep analysis are performed with digital instruments in a cognitive security system. Defined by all these, the present paper deconstructs the terms in experimental monitoring of the media, to connect the realm of Cognition Security to its instruments in Cognitive Security.
