Foreign Influence Operations

Foreign Influence Operations refer to activities conducted by a country to sway public opinion, political decisions, or social dynamics in another country, often through propaganda, disinformation, or direct support for specific groups. These operations can involve manipulating social media, funding political candidates, or spreading misleading information to create confusion or distrust. The goal is to promote the foreign nation's interests, undermine stability, or interfere in democratic processes, often challenging a nation's sovereignty and integrity. Recognizing these operations is crucial for safeguarding democratic values and informed decision-making in society.
