The UK in Cyber-War against Anti-Vaccine Propaganda
Britain is taking caution about hostile states and terror groups spreading the anti-vaccine propaganda. They created a digital offensive toolkit operation to prevent the circulation of this propaganda, this toolkit is created to tackle disinformation and Islamic state recruitment material.
The group GCHQ has been ordered to take anti-vaxxers offline and monitor/disrupt terrorist propaganda. Most of the focus is on taking down state-linked content and encryption the data/cutting off communication on these cyber-actors. Most private users are not disturbed even if they post disinformation.
This was created to disrupt any lies about the virus and to protect the discovery of a safe vaccine.
