Can words kill people?
The answer is "yes" there is a possibility that the regular people are named as the informants of Police. And if those people are living in areas, that are controlled by criminal organizations, that kind of thing can cause problems. Also if the members of some gangs are named as the traitors, that kind of thing can cause revenge. The most traditional way to use words to justify violence is propaganda. The fake news is the most traditional way to deliver lies.
Above this text is the propaganda poster from WWII. In modern propaganda, in a key role is the deep fake news, which is shared as the real information in the social media platforms. If that deep fake information is made carefully, that thing is almost impossible to separate from the real film. And also the psychological profile would make it possible to target that propaganda to the people, who want to believe it. That will help to share that thing on social media platforms.
If somebody wants to believe that some side of the conflict is evil, the propaganda is more effective. Willing to believe makes a person unable to observe the information. Also, things like anger are causing the ability to estimate information is decreased. This is the key element in propaganda operations. Making people believe in lies, sweet little lies.
And the fake news is only the new name for the propaganda or INFO-OPS. Information operations are an effective way to control the mind of the people. How effective that method is, depends on the source of information. If the source of information is commonly trusted and delivers the confirmed information, that thing gives more effect to faked information than if the source is seen as the deputy of some part of the conflict.
So that means that the captured Twitter- and other social media accounts are causing very big troubles. Or what would you think about the situation that somebody is capturing the Twitter account of the President of The United States of America? Then that person can use that account to deliver things like Nazi-propaganda. That thing can cause a really bad problem for the reputation of that person and the entire nation. These kinds of things are a great danger to international relationships.
In modern propaganda or INFO-OPS, the deep fake images are bringing the new "spice" for that kind of action. The deep fakes are allowing to share faked and very impressive propaganda, which is hard to separate from the real information.
The INFO-OPS means just simple sharing faked information. One of the versions of that kind of operation is just blamed the opposite side about crimes. The thing is that this kind of action can be done by using the homepages, and film material, where the people would just acting. This kind of movies can, of course, show authentic actions, but the players of those films might be actors, who play the opposite side fighters.
When we are looking at those things, we must realize that there are always seen things like dead children. And the reason for that kind of thing is just making sympathy for own side. The world is full of dirty tricks and one of them is to make the headquarters under the shelter of the regular people. The attack against that kind of shelter just causes a very big number of civilian casualties.
When we are thinking about this kind of way to handle things in the war, we must remember that there are no gentlemen. War is not the game, and the only thing that matters in the nation, what is in the middle of the conflict is the effect of its weapons. But even if the opposite side is disadvantaged there is a possibility that successful media or INFO-OPS (read: propaganda) would decline the opposite side to stop its military actions. And the best way to make that thing is to win the sympathy to own side.
