Those in the West would be forgiven for thinking Ukraine is winning
the information war, with slick videos of President Zelenskyy
appearing all over social media. However for those in the Global
South, the content they consume about the war is much more
pro-Russia. To explain this phenomenon and the wider context, Carl
Miller, Research Director at the Demos Centre for the Analysis of
Social Media, joins Arthur Snell for another War Bulletin. We're
putting out irregular war bulletins covering different aspects of
the Ukraine crisis. You can support our work on the crowdfunding
app Patreon: doomsdaywatch.co.uk Resources to help the Ukrainian
people can be found here: https://ukrainewar.carrd.co/
“Wrenching heartbreak for Ukraine is completely unbroken on
my social media feeds.” ”Russia and China have tried to
meddle in open information spaces to manipulate the world's view of
them.” “You only have to Google ’buy retweets‘ to see how
readily available these services are. It's not expensive for states
to run these campaigns.” ”We need widen the array of
responses to this tradecraft, beyond platform takedown, digital
literacy campaigns and journalistic exposé.” ”Western
governments need to support ways for Russian citizens to access
information that already exists. Let them use Wikipedia.” DOOMSDAY
