Detecting Malign or Subversive Information Efforts Over Social Media: Scalable Analytics for Early Warning

by Stephanie Pezard, William Marcellino, Krystyna Marcinek

The authors examine scalable analytics to detect malign or subversive information efforts, using the 2018 World Cup as a case study. The report has operational relevance to the U.S. government. It may benefit both researchers interested in going beyond post hoc recognition of malign or subversive information campaigns to in-time detection and social media companies interested in preventing their platforms from being co-opted by malign actors.
