| Czech form police fake news unit to defend against Putin The Czech Republic is setting up a new counter-terrorism unit to combat the rise of fake news or “foreign disinformation campaigns.” Dubbed the “The Center Against Terrorism and Hybrid Threats” the unit will start operations on January 1. Apparently the new center will monitor internal security threats, including attacks on soft targets and extremism, as well as “disinformation campaigns related to internal security.” Czech spooks have been allowed that the Russians have been running disinformation and cyber-espionage activities against the Czech Republic, European Union and NATO. The Czech Republic is due to hold a general election next year and it is a bit worried that Tsar Putin will attempt to put his favour candidate in power – in much the same way as he did in the US elections. http://www.techeye.net/news/czech-fo...-against-putin |
