When a lie is repeated enough, it can start to feel true.
Research on #GenderedDisinformation in South America shows how repetition is used as a tactic during electoral periods to sway the public opinion of female candidates.

Social media moderation can’t always spot #disinformation. Can you?
Data from #Bolivia shows that coded language, such as emojis, are used to spread #GenderedDisinformation while evading detection.

High-profile events attract attention from around the world and foreign regimes know this. They may use the spotlight to push misleading narratives and flood social media with content.

If a story suddenly seems to be everywhere, don’t assume widespread interest.
Foreign regimes may amplify a small number of voices to make them sound like a crowd.

ALT EVERYONE'S SAYING IT. OR ARE THEY? Coordinated activity and repeated messaging can create the illusion of widespread support. #ThinkBeforeYouShare
#InternationalDayOfDemocracy, let's remember that democracy is more than elections. It thrives through dialogue, active listening, and citizen participation. In the DRC, Canada-funded #EEGIR helps strengthen the voice of women, youth, and marginalized groups. #DemocracyDay

Real events can be used to tell misleading stories.
Foreign regimes may selectively present facts, omit context or connect details to make a past event fit a narrative today.
