Abstract:
Technology has been embraced by the human kind very quickly, including social
media, but studies on the impact of technology and social media on the human being and
the society have never been achieved. Some side effects have been considered
vulnerabilities and used for information warfare, using fake news and disinformation.
When the Covid-19 pandemic exploded, in March, 2020, the combined impact of the two
did create a real perfect storm, with important consequences for the international
relations, global security but also for the intelligence activities in times of crisis.
Keywords: Fake news, information warfare, disinformation, relativization of
truth, post truth, post-factual, post sensorial.
