​ Truth Before Accusation: Protecting National Institutions from Disinformation The Power of Words in the Digital Age In today’s digital world, information travels faster than ever before. Social media has become a powerful platform for communication, but it has also become a tool for spreading misinformation, propaganda, and unverified allegations.
