Treading a Fine Line. Countering Russian Disinformation in Poland
Polish state institutions are more than ever aware of the risks posed by the malign and false narratives but have been slow in transforming their excellent analytical capacity into forward action. State institutions tread the thin line of censorship in democratic societies and careful not to step over the line. The legal framework is slow to react to the fast-changing media environment. The scale of the problem forces the military and the less politicised parts of the state apparatus to demonstrate initiative. The current information space requires lots of content and the pro-democracy must have the means of supplying it.
