Disinformation

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose Disinformation because I wanted to look at the spread of false information meant to deceive from a more modern context. Currently, the article itself focuses more on disinformation by the KGB during the Cold War, but disinformation is a much broader topic that needs to be examined within the Internet, specifically on social media. The modern section of the article remains sparse, so fully discussing disinformation and its applicable consequences and events as a result of such a dissemination of falsehoods in the 20th and 21st century is a motive for me.

Evaluate the article
As a whole, the article in regards to the KGB operation is informative and engaging, drawing an educational picture of disinformation. It is under the heading "Consequences of exposure to disinformation online" where it begins to tail off in information. The segment "There is a broad consensus amongst scholars that there is a high degree of disinformation, misinformation, and propaganda online; however, it is unclear to what extent such disinformation has on political attitudes in the public and, therefore, political outcomes" seems to dismiss any further research into the subject, and the article remains bare in fully discussing disinformation.
