> enhance resilience to cognitive warfare and hybrid threats in Europe, also through the relevant EU mechanisms, and promote the resilience of our societies

This is really interesting to me.

I'm wondering what a systematic approach to combat fake news, foreign interference, and other social media abuse would look like.

The name was already given by Niall Ferguson a long time ago: Cold War II.

People, nearby a member expressed an idea, and it was wiped off the board being possibly rightfully hit but senselessly sniped, and not we cannot correct his fumble, there is no more 'reply' there:

that phenomenon that we already know will entail large amounts of vile propaganda and in-bad-faith trolling is called by most esteemed intellectuals "a cold war", and if anybody notes that "bombs are falling", he must be replied that "yes, that is how cold wars work: big entities do not send armies and missiles in each other's territory, but hell may be let loose in territories of other nations".

It is much more productive to add that one line that clarifies the hit.

It's about time for a response to the doctrine laid out here:

It is not really clear how much that textbook is actually adopted.

I suppose it's not, but otherwise, it appears that it was written by someone who could predict the future to a large extent.

Well, the first time I saw a boost of attention over that text and the figure behind it, was after Brexit... ("UK should be divided by the continental etc.")

For example, media literacy in public schools.
